In his third vlog for staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins talks about getting back in the studio with Brandy to make another “classic” album with her fifth LP Human (Nov. 11). He discusses her second single, a ballad called “Long Distance,” which he predicts will get nominated for a Grammy. And as far as Brandy straying to work with Timbaland on 2004’s Afrodisiac? “When it ain’t broke, you don’t gotta try to fix it,” says the super producer.
