Read moreWhen I was a kid, I wanted nothing more than to be an adult, but now that I am a big boy, I wish I could turn back the clock. Bills, rent, responsibilities… Grown Ups don’t have it as easy as I thought. In fact, about the only grown-up thing I can handle is this new single from First Division.

Joining the pair is Booth regular Roc Marciano, who makes this record all the more grown-up with his commanding, veteran approach. Like their last feature, Three Times Dope, Grown Ups will appear on First Division’s upcoming, free project, The Critical Path Pt. 2, due out May 27, via The DJBooth.
