The single cover of Marcus Canty’s new song, ‘In & Out (Ft. Wale)’.

LA Reid’s favourite contestant from the first season of ‘The X Factor (US)’ is ready to make his debut. Teaming with Wale and H-Money, the mini-Bobby Brown has issued a new song, ‘In & Out’, which serves as a single from his upcoming album.

‘In & Out’ samples Jamaican DJ Shabba Ranks’ ‘Ting-A-Ling’ and mixes the sounds of Dancehall with bass-heavy Hip-Hop and R&B. How does the final product sound? Listen to the song below:

Now you wait a minute, Canty! ‘In & Out’ is a boss tune! We all know that Reid would have targeted Canty to the Urban audience but it is honestly surprising to hear him experiment with so many styles straight out the gate instead of taking the basic R&B artist approach i.e. what Trey Songz has been doing with his last three albums. Honestly, ‘In & Out’ could be a major hit!
