This will be the first time the trio has joined forces on one song together, but it’s far from the first time Swizz has worked with either Hov or Tunechi. Swizz most notably linked with JAY-Z on his Blueprint 3 cut “On To The Next One,” while he connected with Weezy on Tha Carter V track “Uproar” as well as his latest single “Kant Nobody,” which is set to appear on the sixth installment in his iconic Tha Carter series.
JAY-Z and Lil Wayne, meanwhile, have previously sharpened their lyrical swords on “Mr. Carter,” “Hello Brooklyn 2.0,” “Swagga Like Us,” and most recently DJ Khaled’s “God Did,” which they performed together at the 2023 Grammys in February.
