Chad Hugo, formerly of the Virginia-bred super-producer team The Neptunes, has released a new single, “Jumpupw!nya,” featuring guest verses from Philly MC Tierra Whack and Brooklyn/Virginia rapper Leikeli47.
According to a press release, the track marks Hugo’s first major solo release in years and “signals the beginning of a new creative era.” The production shifts throughout the song, with Leikeli47 opening: “Gangsters and the bourgeois, I make ’em all dance / Hypnotize minds, got ’em all in a trance.”
Leikeli47 said in a statement: “For those that don’t know, I’m from Brooklyn by way of Virginia. So when Chad called, I leapt at the opportunity to collaborate. Love to the amazing Tierra Whack. I’m just happy to play my part.”
Tierra Whack contributes an animated verse: “I just might Crash, Bandicoot / I can move some bags and they full of loot.” An accompanying music video accompanies the release.
