The song at the time was announced to be from a forthcoming album, but it never received a proper release. However The Yes Ma’ams did make a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsZ2Jxv5i8o video] for it. '''Traffic Jam''' is nevertheless considered unreleased as its use by Yes Ma’ams was probably done without [[Prince]]’s permission (the track was in wide circulation among collectors). |
