Rich The Kid teams up with Kendrick Lamar for “New Freezer.”
Back in January, Rich The Kid revealed that he and Kendrick Lamar had been working together in the studio, but disappointingly enough, the track never surfaced.
However, today the track, New Freezer, premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio show. While speaking with Zane, Rich explained how Lamar ended up on the track, “I was in the studio recording, over at the Interscope Studios, and then my A&R Manny introduced me to Kendrick for the first time.”
“Kendrick came in there, of course, it’s Kendrick Lamar, I’m like, ‘Damn, I’m in here with Kendrick, it’s just crazy.’ So he asked me to play some music for him, so I played two records that I had been recording off of my album.”
He continued, “I had just recorded ‘New Freezer’ recently though. So I had recorded that so I’m like, let me play him ‘For the Birds,’ another record I did, and then I played him ‘New Freezer.’ Right when he heard it, he was like, ‘Yo, like who else on this song?’ It’s just me. He’s like, ‘Yo I gotta get on this one! This s—’s dumb. This goes crazy.’”
Rich is also working on a video New Freezer, which will be co-directed by K. Dot and Dave Free.
