"Kissin' On My Tattoos," is lifted from Alsina’s forthcoming debut album 'Testimony,' available April 15th.

I think the EP struck good a balance of who I am and what I’ve been through, but that was just the beginning. Nothing is held back on ‘TESTIMONY’. When people hear my story, and see that I came from nothing, they’ll see that it’s possible for them too."
