Jhene Aiko "For My Brother" (NEW MUSIC)

Get your tissues out, because this track is definitely a tear-jerker. 

NEW MUSIC: Jhene Aiko "2 Seconds" 

R&B singer Jhene Aiko lost her 26-year-old brother, Miyagi, to cancer last week, so she decided to write and record a beautiful song in his honor. 

On her Tumblr page, Jhene left a sweet message explaining the track:

"I wrote and recorded this myself on my lap top, for my brother…. Miyagi . this song was really just intended for him to hear….. but i thought it would be nice to share ….

i was so nervous to play it for him myself, so when i left to San Francisco on Thursday I had my TT play it for him….

She said his breath got calm as he listened and i know he heard every word ….

later that night he became the angel he was born to be and i am so grateful that he got to hear this before he left on his infinite journey….

now i hear him telling ME , what i was singing to him…  to not give up . 

i love you SO much Miyagi!!!! . Everything x2 now. Everything for you now …."

"I wish I could take away your pain/I wish I could trade places/ man I just want you to be okay/ man I just wish I could erase this/I know life has a funny way/so I'm not complaining/ and while I still got you here, still got you here, still got you here, I hope you can hear this/ don't give up, don't give up on us," sings Jhene. 

The newly signed Def Jam songstress is currently working on her debut album with legendary producer No I.D.
