“We released Trace’s first two songs on Verge starting in March of this year,” adds President and COO of Verge Mickey Jack Cones. “Those songs have garnered millions of streams and views in just four short months – more than any songs in his career in that span of time – proving what we already knew.

Written by Jeffrey Steele, Danny Myrick, Kip Raines and Bart Allmand, “Just The Way We Do It” delivers a summertime anthem as Adkins imparts:
Well that’s alright
Get ya some ribs
Wash it on down with a couple of beers
Ain’t nobody getting hurt, don’t be scared
That’s just the way we do it ‘round here
