Written by Roberson, BJ, and Rodney Jones, the soulful and poetic new anthem pulls deep at the heartstrings. Produced by Roberson and Jones for Art of Artez Productions, “Where You Gonna Go” blends a lullaby-style hook with the warmth of 70’s soul, raw Detroit hip-hop energy, and the uplifting spirit of 3/4 gospel rhythms.
The song’s groove invites everything from a slow, intimate dance with a partner to a moment of deep reflection and prayer. Roberson explained the inspiration behind the track, saying: “It’s inspired by a question I ask myself to help the sunshine, even when facing storms. It explores simple extremes.”

His track record speaks volumes, with collaborations alongside heavy hitters like Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Dwele, Vivian Green, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ Spinna.
“It’s R&B and soul music, but I’m a hip-hop dude,” Roberson reflects on his musical roots, a blend that makes his vibe relatable and magnetic.
