In an interview with HotNewHipHop.com three years ago, R-Mean spoke about collaborating with Method Man and Kabaka Pyramid.
“Working with Method Man is a real dream come true. I’m the biggest Wu-Tang fan and coming up, Meth was always one of my all-time favourite rappers. He started showing me a lot of love when I met him several years back, and through DJ Mathematics I was honoured to be featured on Wu-Tang album 2017’s ‘The Saga Continues’ on a song called ‘G’d Up’ with Meth,” said R-Mean.
He added, “This time he blessed me on my own track. When we did the beat in the studio with Scott Storch I instantly felt “Distant Relatives” vibes so I hit up my man Kabaka Pyramid, who’s one of my favourite reggae artistes and he’s also signed to Damian Marley. Once he blessed the track I sent it to Meth, who never asked for anything, he just sent it right back without me even having to follow up or keep bugging him.”
