Jeymes Samuel has dropped what may be one of the heaviest tracks of 2024 in the collaborative D'Angelo and JAY-Z single "I Want You...
Speaking with Variety, Samuel revealed how the nearly 10-minute collaboration came together, which he says was "Godly":
If your belief is God, then it was God; if your belief is the universe, then it was the universe. Because I've been wanting to work with D'Angelo my whole life. But you can't just … no one knows where this guy is. It's like you can want to work with Jay-Z your whole life, but whether you're gonna work with him is a whole other thing.
So, the way it happened was me and D'Angelo just linking up on organic level, talking about all the things that interest us; all the things we want to do and the things we want to do together. Me being a fan of his and him being a fan of mine.
Samuel added, "D'Angelo's last album was called "Black Messiah," so he was already in full frequency of what the scene was, the song was, the message was, the ethos of the entire film.
"He lives in the frequency, so it's just a perfect, perfect marriage."
