I’ll take Statik next to any producer today. After the album he did with Saigon, All in a Day’s Work, I don’t need to hear any more to confidently say this man has found his spot (pause?).
With the title of the song, I thought we were going to hear a B.B. King sample or interpolation, but that’s not the case (it’s a Biggie sample on the hook). The beat is smooth as hell, and Styles and Talib both give two strong verses.
(I’m in a rush right now, I’ll post the streaming version later)
