ILM: Your new single Ride It is out on January 21st - a sleek fusion of shimmering Eastern strings, enticing percussion and seductive vocals. Can you describe the track's vibe and how it came about?

JAY: Ride It was one of the first few tracks I started writing for my album. It was funny because the guy I did it with, an unknown producer, he's this genius little kid who I got a mix tape from, a demo tape and I just thought it was unbelievable his music and vocal production, so I met up with him and I asked to hear his beats. He played me this track and the flow of the verse came about by me messing around and being an idiot and I was MCing over it rather than singing, which created that unusual type of [sings] bit, so that came about from being stupid and messing around, but then we thought, that's quite different, I like that. So then we did it.
