This debut track collaborates with Jones under the collective "Cas Libres Prod," set to an old-school beat by producer Itumi. Shortsam and Jones bring raw lyricism and dynamic delivery to a track about the joy of “kickage,” a rhythmic, lyrical flow that’s as unapologetic as addictive.
“C’est fou” feels like a love letter to hip-hop’s golden era, wrapped in a fresh, contemporary package.
