Reuben Vincent & 9th Wonder feat. Sweata & Raheem DeVaughn – Dre & Sidney [Video]
9th Wonder lays down warm, nostalgic soul and lets Reuben write a love letter to his first love—hip-hop.
Raheem DeVaughn sets the mood with a silky “Distant Lover” nod up top while Sweata’s harmonies thread through the hook. It plays like devotion without the corniness: focused story, clean drums, grown feeling.
Co-directed by Reuben Vincent & Keilan Alexander, the clip recreates key scenes from “Brown Sugar”—park bench talks, the walk-and-talk, the kitchen argument—framed as a present-day courtship of the culture. Nyla Symone stars opposite Reuben as Sidney, selling the chemistry, while the edit keeps everything crisp and intimate.
Thoughtful pen, classic Jamla shine, and a visual that honors “Brown Sugar” without leaning on nostalgia. “Dre & Sidney” is tight storytelling with replay value—and a smart setup for Reuben & 9th’s collab run.
