Previously: Francis And The Lights – Darling, It’s Alright (Music Video) It’s definitely been a while since we last heard from Francis and the Lights. Thus, it was a pleasant surprise to hear new music from Francis today and he releases ‘ETC’. This song is dope, and will hopefully lead to more material releasing in the future.

From Baltimore and Philly. The parks, riding four-wheelers and just that lifestyle. Me and Rozay checked out Gucci’s album and listened to the joints. Gucci was like, ‘Yo, I got another one called ‘Darker’ it’s me and Chief Keef. Me and Sosa, we gonna go in; we need you to do it.’ I was like, ‘I got you, it’s nothin’.”
