The collaboration came about through a mutual connection, JDon, who introduced both artists. Their chemistry was instant, making a collaboration the natural next step.
“The recording process was very easy because from I sent Valiant the riddim, he liked it and started sending ideas for the chorus to me,” Versi shared. “So I did my verses and got it mixed.”
Produced by Versi himself under his Cawvinz Entertainment label, the track was brought to life visually by director King Cam, with scenes shot across various locations in New York. The video radiates color, energy and style with both artists delivering on their promise to go fully “Outlandish”.
