Run the Jewels already minted a stone classic with their 2020 single “Ooh La La” featuring Greg Nice and DJ Premier and a killer sample of Gang Starr’s 1992 track “Dwyck.” But on the brand new digital deluxe version of their RTJ4 album they rope in Lil Wayne for a guest verse on a remix of the song on which Weezy lays down some of his signature interstellar weirdness.
“Yeah, ah, ooh, la la, it’s Young Mula la/ My lil dude ra ra boom boom kumbaya/ Vroom vroom zoom by ya/ Me and me goon brada/ Mario brother shroom power make me doom doom da da,” Weezy F Baby rapid fire rhymes over the booming track — keeping things spacey, the cover art for the single remix has Wayne as E.T. in RTJ rapper El-P’s bike basket as they fly through the night sky.
“She like sushi and opera but her coochie aqua/ What’s a goon to a goblin?/ What’s a shooter to a shotta?/ I can boom shakalaka your medulla oblongata/ Kill a mic like El-P and Killer Mike, searing light,” Wayne continues.
The deluxe edition of the album also features a rubbery, booming remix of the Pharrell Williams/Zack de la Rocha collab “JU$T,” a noisy Royal Jewels remix of “The Ground Below” by rock duo Royal Blood, as well as instrumental versions of all of the album’s original 11 tracks and the song RTJ’s Killer Mike and El-P wrote for Cyberpunk 2077, “No Save Point.”
