COCO PUFF PIECE

To commemorate the gold certification of Urban radio #1 hit "ICU" by Def Jam artist Coco Jones, label hitters joined the fledgling star (who was nominated for three 2023 BET Awards, including Best New Artist) for this handsome trade shot, which they fervently hoped would not fall into our hands. Seen thinking that even the ICU could do little to resuscitate our moribund reputation are (l-r) Def Jam's Marcus "Ike" Ferrer and EVP Promotion Natina Nimene, Jones and the label's James Brown and Joseph "J.O." Segarra.
