Once that beat hits, yeah, this song grabs your attention by sheer sonic force. “We Run” is simply undeniable when it comes to pure street and the coveted 90’s sound. To have Raekwon and French Montana connect over a backdrop that’ll make your ears and brain melt, is something to be praised and not overlooked. So please take your time and break your neck to the authorized street banger from iSHi.
“‘We Run’ brings in the organic Hip-Hop sound that I grew up with — guys like Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon, Ghostface. The idea was to take someone like Raekwon – who’s an old school classic rapper – and connect that sound with the new school, in this case French Montana,” iSHi told The FADER. “I thought those two worlds could work really nicely. I wanted both the arrangement and with the actual collaboration to shock people.”
