Wiz Khalifa‘s ‘We Dem Boyz’ may have split opinions when it first dropped back in February — and let’s be honest, it’s one of the most contrived songs of recent memory — but it’s quickly becoming a contender for record of the year (in the clubs, anyway).
The Detail-produced banger has already caught the ear of Diddy — excuse me, Puff Daddy — Meek Mill and French Montana, who dropped their own version, complete with a typically rockstar-level video. But here goes the second and official ‘We Dem Boyz’ remix, featuring another star-studded trio of Rick Ross, ScHoolboy Q and Nas.
Unlike Puffy, Meek and French’s makeover, this latest update boasts a whole new beat, courtesy of Sledgren, Ricky P and RMB Justize. The three producers cook up a heavily-baked vibe complete with snail-paced synths and thumping 808s, transforming Wiz’s ‘Blacc Hollywood’ single from a club heater into an airy smokers’ anthem.
Accordingly, the Taylor Gang general smooths out his hook (which will most definitely give you a contact high), while his supporting cast deliver distinctive verses: Rozay huffing out heartless boasts; Q sharing his rags-to-riches story with a snarl; Esco stealing the show with his expert wordplay and effortless delivery. In fact, this might be Nas’ best verse since ‘Life Is Good.’
Wiz Khalifa went on Twitter to celebrate the release of ‘We Dem Boyz’ remix. He tweeted:
Happy 4th!
