In addition to the recorded instruments, live vocals by rapper Heems and R&B Soulstress Gavin Turek elevate the jam's uniqueness giving users a diverse palate of authentic sounds found nowhere else. The original recording session took place on March 20, 2015 as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks' Pop-Up during SXSW.Videos
