Was that something where you guys had a song that you thought they both could fit on, or did you have an idea to have them both on a song? I also thought it was interesting you got Rivers Cuomo and Pusha T on the same track. I think we might've had a couple but we were like, "ok, let's try this one," and that was it and they just went in. Hooks: I always thought that Jada and Styles would sound dope on the right kind of hybrid songs.

I think we'll want something of our own there, too. Hooks: We'll let you know real soon, we're gonna put out our album and then the second is going to be a compilation of artists that will be on Deadbeats.ĭC: Just like one track from lots of different producers.

This is nothing new for the duo from Toronto, though.
