"The production on this record is so creative and immediate to me. It's super heavy and messy but that’s what I love about it. Ronny J production and X on the verse just works."
"This track was produced by Dexter Wenzel who is one of my favorite producers from the 60s and 70s. A lot of his arrangements and production choices are immaculate and have very much influence how I look at music."
"AJ Tracey is one of my favorite UK rappers right now. His flow is just super interesting and his hooks are super memorable."
"I first heard this song because my Mom played it when I was a kid and I rediscovered it recently after hearing it in an Uber. I love the vocal arrangements and melodies in this song a lot."
"This artist is actually a friend of mine and I feel like he's so underrated. There are some really interesting melodies and production on this track, I'm definitely looking forward to hearing new music from him."
