Girl Talk, Wiz Khalifa, Big K.R.I.T., and Smoke DZA have all connected for a collaborative album Full Court Press (set to drop April 8). The project is “a culmination of friendships going back ten-plus years and a unique intersection of all of our work,” says Girl Talk.
“These guys all go back with each other over 10 years, so it was just a great energy in the room. I wanted to have an environment where they could do what they do best; try out a bunch of different ideas and have fun with it,” he continues. “Wiz, K.R.I.T., and DZA all have very different styles. As a fan of each of them, I wanted to capture what it is that draws me to their music. It’s like with my previous albums, I’m trying to take pieces of all my favorite elements and then recontextualize it into something new.”
The Fab Four have also released the project’s first single, “Put You On.” Hear it below.
