Ever since he told us he was working with Flylo I was really curious.. I don’t know what I was really expecting but not this. Production is good, expect nothing else from Mr Steve but I felt the overall song kind of repetitive. Jose could have actually tried changing tempo or tune of his voice at some point instead of chatting away, and it feels like it needs some crazy bridge at some point ala Flying Lotus..
