Chicago OG and hip-hop statesman DJ Pharris called in Wiz Khalifa, Chance the Rapper, and Rockie Fresh for “Everything New,” with each rapper emphasizing that they need to keep everything in their lives fresh and new.
“When I heard the beat, I knew immediately, I needed to call Wiz to get on this,” Pharris told Complex of the star-studded collaboration. “With the pandemic going on, some of us could use a little retail therapy. So I wanted to make a song for that. Kinda like a soundtrack for people like me who like to cop new shit and look good. Once I got the Wiz hook, I sent it to Chance to lay his verse and then to Rockie. It all came together pretty fast.”
âIâm excited for people to hear this album because I feel like itâs more of a grown me,â Young says. âIâm 24, and a lot of people hold me to the music I made when I was 17, 18 and 19. So I just feel like itâs time for me to show the world my growth as a human being and the things that are on my mind nowadays.â
