Nikki Jean Debuts New Single Mr. Clean Featuring Lupe Fiasco

[youtube id=”Q3wSeCaa-lU”]Songwriter Nikki Jean reconnects with Lupe Fiasco on her new single “Mr. Clean.” The longtime collaborators worked together on the song that Jean says is about meeting the wrong guy again and again.  

 “I’ve met the same man with different faces, many many times… This song is dedicated to him. The one that would leave me f*cked up and crying if I gave him half a chance… And we don’t give him chances no more.”

Jake One produced “Mr. Clean” for the Grammy-nominated songwriter who introduced herself to the world when she co-wrote “Hip Hop Saved My Life” with Fiasco for his The Cool album. “Mr. Clean” follows her “People & Planes” single released in April.
