Speaking about the collaboration, DJ 808 said, “I have always wanted to work with SouthAfrican producer, Caltonic SA. He sent over some beats, I picked the one I felt was the best and I added some ‘DJ 808’ recipes to brighten the beat to my own perfect taste. I immediately reached to my Manager so we could brainstorm on who would kill this beat, we figured Peruzzi was a perfect match. Peruzzi heard the beat and fell in love with the beat immediately! We vibed in the studio and everything was just one take; vibes upon vibes.”
