    I'm still so curious as to how this will sound...
  • @tjlfilms1502
    i love that James calls yachty by his actual name.
  • @ByCallan
    There is no way a collaboration like this wouldn't win a Grammy.
  • @lowelindberg3234

  • @mood1676
    This is what I live for, two artists coming together with little to nothing alike with each other than a passion for good music. Cant wait for this project
  • @CensoredStudios
    Honestly beautiful how Yatchy was talking about creating art that lives up to James catalog
  • @samdopkosky

  • @peace_in_the_now
    james is so humble: "maybe that's it, maybe i never going to make a good piece of music" while only dropping musical innovation
  • @andyvillaveces477
    a minute in and im already SO excited for this album. Yachty has developed so much since he first came onto the scene, and him working with james was kind of unexpected but I reckon it'll sound so good considering his love for frank ocean Blonde and Endless

    "I think i kind of overestimated-" "I didn't" 😂
  • @traviswesley8281

  • @PRODJUN
    I’m so excited for this album man y’all don’t understand 🤧🥹🔊🔥
  • @a_kind_of_zawadi
    I'm coming from the perspective of being a James fan since before the Colour in Anything and only falling in love with Yachty since Let's Start Here but absolutely loving everything since and before. I've basically heard, from an intimate fan level, all of their dips into other genres. So hearing about this collab was a pleasant surprise that just makes sense. I'm truly looking forward to hating whatever they drop for the first month then proceeding to play it from start to finish the rest of the year and beyond.
