Steve Aoki‘s latest album ‘Kolony‘ is shaping up to be a colossal collaborative hip-hop laden effort! An absolutely stacked LP which boasts of guest features from the likes of 2 Chainz, Migos, Lil Yachty and more, the LA-based producer has now shared the latest single ‘Lit‘.
A raucous, hip-hop-meets-trap anthem featuring Gucci Mane, T-Pain and Dutch duo Yellow Claw, the festival-ready smash is a fitting representation of the sonic direction that the Dim Mak leader seems to have taken on for his latest studio output. With an impressive delivery by Gucci, T-Pain joins in on the action to deliver a solid hook on top of a crazy production. An all-around star studded effort which you can expect to hear at a festival near you, Aoki also talked to XXL as he shed light on how the track came to life saying:
“T-Pain was in Vegas and I was FaceTiming him until he woke up and I got him to come over my house and jump in my pool, it’s kind of initiation. After we were having fun, I played him the beat and he’s wildin’ out. I got him in the booth and gave him an idea of the songs I’m going for. I kept singing ‘All I Do is Win’ over and over again and then he came up with this hook, T-Pain style. He sings a Queen line and I’m like, we’re never going to get this cleared. But he got it cleared, it was fucking crazy. Then we said we need to get Gucci on this, it will be sick. I sent it over to Gucci’s camp and he loved it and he did his thing and then Yellow Claw touched it up.”
