SINGER Junior X has returned with In the Streets like the White Line, a song he recorded for Bonner Corner Stone Productions. It is the follow-up to his chart-topping single, Not Afraid to Live.

In a recent interview with this column, he spoke about his latest production.

"The song is really about the poor man's dream. The message in this song is really highlighting the importance of having money these days to take care of the responsibilities that come along with life and securing certain comforts," he explained. "It also implies forcefulness toward achieving one's goals."

Junior X shot to prominence with songs like Plead My Cause and Seek Your Goal. In addition to In the Streets like the White Line and Not Afraid to Live, he recently recorded the inspirational He Saved Me with Albarosie.

For the past three years he has been working with Dennis Livingston's Revolutionary Entertainment label.

"Since I have been working with Revolutionary Entertainment, I have gotten the opportunity of recording songs with Queen Ifrica, Gyptian, Albarosie and others. I also released an album titled Plead My Cause which has been doing pretty well," he said.
