Boston-based producer, Wunda B has built a reputation for himself in these parts by teaming up with independent artists and for his first single this year he’s tapping into wunderkind duo, AYLØ and Mojo for a sure sleeper hit “Claro”. Over the pitched-down teetering drum beat, AYLØ and Mojo put on a bragging show about their boss status and the joys of being high. Mojo’s raps get explicit as he talks about his prowess in bed, ‘D**k game strong have you singing off key’ he says, recounting a sexual experience with a girl he took home.
