Frank Ocean - Voodoo


Frank Ocean  who has been quiet on the musical front lately, presumably working on his studio debut slated for a 2012 release, dropped us a gift on his Tumblr page. The song comes in at a little under 2 minutes long, and sounds possibly unfinished. It follows the usual Frank Ocean formula we've come to love here at RapMaticJM. The lyrics can be found on his Tumblr, don't be shy and check it out.
