Curren$y aligned forces with Rick Ross for "Super High (Sativa Remix)," and the
Spiff TV-directed viral video came out this week.
"That was a blessing, dude," Wiz said about the collaboration."Ross just kept it G, dawg. He seen my movement, he seen Curren$y'smovement. He recognized what we do together, but he recognized us asindividuals as well as a team. He reached out in a real way. Spiff [TV]called us. I think he reached out to Spitta first. Then Spiff, hereached out to me. I was still on another leg of my tour. So as soon asI got done with the last leg of my tour, soon as I got home, I wentstraight to the studio and knocked out the verse, sent it to Ross. Hewas like, 'I love it. I'm flying you out next week. We doing thevideo.' "
"Yeah, you know, I'm VP, A&R over at Maybach Music Group,"said Spiff, who has known Wiz for years. "Ross called me and said he'sputting together a remix and he wants Wiz and Curren$y. So I reachedout, sent them the track the next day, and they did their thing. Theycame to ATL, Ross knocked his verse out the next day. I shot the videoto Wiz and Curren$y via Twitter."
"It came together on some G sh--," Wiz said. "Ross is hellatalented. Everybody knows Spitta's the best. It was only right we dothat sh--."
Wiz said the Ross co-sign is his biggest yet. "It was a goodlook for me, because hasn't been nobody really big, anybody who's asinfluential in the game right now as Ross is saying, 'I really f---swith Wiz,' or, like, been seen on camera with me. That was a big powermove for the both of us."
Aside from Ross, Wiz — who's still trying to figure out when to release his Cabin Fever mixtape — and Curren$y still want to put out a mini-film based on their How Fly tape.
"We always gonna be working. There's never not gonna besomething going on with me and Spitta," Khalifa promised. "People canlook for music. He just called me the other day. He's about to drop hisalbum, which is amazing. I'm working on my sh--. Then whenever wedecide to get back together and do what we do, I think [the Taylor Gangand the Jets] gonna be right here waiting for us."
