Boasting a super-infectious melody, it is an uplifting partnership anthem about the bonds of love and togetherness over a chugging beat. Its message seems to embody the intimate, rock-steady, symbiotic relationship of its two co-creators. The duo’s work is richly orchestrated and comes alive on “Hip Hop Carnival”.

Mz.
