Iconic R&B vocalist Keith Sweat is back with a remix of his heartfelt track “Working,” which now includes Lil Wayne and Qing Madi, creating a cross‑continental partnership that fuses traditional R&B, hip‑hop legends, and the emerging Afro‑soul sound.

First dropped earlier in the year, “Working” captures Sweat grappling with the intricacies of romance, the subtle battle between longing and separation.

The track’s message of perseverance in love struck a chord, amplified by Qing Madi’s fresh, soulful delivery that added an African warmth to Sweat’s enduring vulnerability.

With Lil Wayne’s addition, the track transforms into a richer tapestry, blending different ages, styles, and feelings. Wayne’s contribution injects a charismatic edge, turning the song into a dialogue between relentless affection and seasoned confidence. His flow moves smoothly over the beat, endowing the remix with a vibrant, cinematic vibe that feels both familiar and fresh.
