Nashville, TN (September 28, 2016) - Derek Minor teams with BJ the Chicago Kid for
“Until I’m Gone,” the third single from Minor’s sixth album, Reflection, out on
Minor’s Reflection Music Group/eOne Music on October 14, and now available for

On the song, Derek Minor raps about remembering his roots and being thankful for his
success. He rhymes, “This for my people that struggle to pay off they light bill /
In they heart man they wonder if Christ real / Or the next meal / I can tell you how
that life feel.” BJ the Chicago Kid lends his infectious soulful voice on the
chorus.

The clip directed by Will Thomas features throwback video of Minor rapping when he
was a young teen, as well as new footage filmed in New York and Tennessee. “We
wanted to convey that down to earth feeling,” Minor says. “No matter how high I go,
I got to stay grounded. We shot some scenes where I grew up in Tennessee. I wanted
it to be a family affair with people I grew up with.”

Minor has been a fan of BJ the Chicago Kid since he saw the talented singer
performing on BET’s Music Matters stage. “He’s been the soul voice of our
generation,” Minor says. “He’s so versatile. Plus, he’s just a cool cat. I love that
about him.”
