“Back to Your Place” is lifted from London’s debut album, The Rebirth of Marvin, released in February via Death Row Records.

In 2017, Rated R&B spotlighted London as part of its Rated Next campaign, which highlighted emerging acts that had the potential to make a musical impact.
In an exclusive interview with Rated R&B, London shared the story behind connecting with Snoop Dogg and Jazze Pha and signing to their Cadillac Music label. (Snoop Dogg now owns Death Row Records.) London also discussed his debut EP, Color Blind: Love, also inspired by soul greats like Gaye and Al Green.
