Bizarre team-ups can be brilliant every now and then. ILoveMakonnen came together with rapper Despot and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig for a remix of his song “Down 4 So Long.” The re-working of the track was made as part of Red Bull’s 20 Before 15 series, and it’s strange just how good this sounds.
Despot’s part was great, but it’s Koenig who really stands out in this tune as he adapts his cadence to the genre and delivering lines about moving to Monaco for the tax cuts, Mary Kate calling him out for wearing off-brand Ray Bans and meeting Sarkozy.
Hear the new song after the jump.
