The title tracks “Maniac†and “Luv You in the Morning,†remain faithful to the genre and in 2008, the masses are ready to sample something new.Born in New York City, Governor Brown a.k.a. Gabriel Guity, lived on New York’s legendary Lenox ave down the street from Cam’ron. The two attended junior high and played junior varsity basketball together.
