New Music: Jhene Aiko – For My Brother






Jhene Aiko and her brother Miyagi looked precious as little kids!


Here at WPBradio.com I like to Display new music and in this case It can't get ANY better than Jhene Aiko I absolutely ADORE her and she will be my new HotSpot Artist of the week for the All New Live Wired Morning Show. I'll just add this one last thing, Please tell your Loved Ones how much you Love and care for them before its too late!!!!
Sadly, Jhene’s brother lost his two-year battle with brain cancer last week at age 26, and in his memory she decided to release a song that she wrote and recorded for him personally, titled ‘For My Brother’.
In a message she released on her Tumblr page, she says the lyrical plea she made in the song for him not to give up now motivates her to do the same–only now she hears it in his voice making her want to go harder for the both of them.
“I wrote and recorded this myself on my lap top for my brother. Miyagi… this song was really just intended for him to hear… but i thought it would be nice to share… I was so nervous to play it for him myself, so when I left to San Francisco on Thursday I had my TT play it for him…She said his breath got calm as he listened and I know he heard every word… Later that night he became the angel he was born to be, and I am so grateful that he got to hear this before he left on his infinite journey…
Now I hear him telling ME, what i was singing to him… to not give up.
I love you SO much Miyagi!!!! Everything x2 now. Everything for you now…”
Listen to the track below.

“So hard for me to unsend when doctors
they cannot cure this
I wish I could take away your pain
I wish I could trade places
Man, I just want you to be okay
Man, I just wish that I could erase this
I know life has a funny way
So I’m not complaining
And while I still have you here
I just want you to hear this…
Don’t give up. Don’t give up on us.”


Miyagi has been diagnosed for at least two years. And observant Jhene Aiko fans might recall hearing her say “I told him where I reside my brother is dying and there is no cure…” in the song “Space Jam” from her Sailing Souls mixtape. Deep.
Condolences.
