Lil Wayne Joins Fat Joe and Dre for Marvin Gaye-Sampling “Pullin”
Written by SOURCE on June 27, 2019
Lil Wayne and Dre (of Cool & Dre) have been brought together by Fat Joe for his latest single “Pullin,” out Thursday on all streaming platforms.
“Oh my god, she bought me flowers, I’m about to smoke ’em all,” Weezy, whose co-headlining tour with blink-182 kicks off later this week, promises in the track’s third verse. “Pullin” also notably makes good use of a choppy Marvin Gaye sample. Stream the song above via YouTube, below via Apple Music, and/or via the provider of your choice.
Joe and Wayne, of course, have connected for tracks in the past including “Make It Rain” and “Yellow Tape.” Last July, Joe and Dre linked for a new one featuring Chris Brown. Joe’s most recent full-length was the 2017 Remy Ma collab project Plata O Plomo. Family Ties, his first solo studio album since The Darkside Vol. 1 in 2010, is expected this year.
Joe first announced Family Ties back in January 2018, teasing the assortment of high-profile collabs he already had lined up at the time in an interview with Hot 97.
“I got one record on this album that I keep tellin’ Dre, I keep dreaming I’m performing at Summer Jam,” he said. “And you know I got energy, I’m a fat guy, but I’ve got energy.”
Meanwhile, Weezy—as mentioned above—is days away from hitting the road with frequent collaborator Travis Barker’s genre-hopping band blink-182. Maybe Barker can join Wayne onstage for a run-through of his “Pullin” verse?
