Jidenna adds another layer of coolness to his already infectious “Classic Man” hit by collaborating with Kendrick Lamar whose verses add a layer of edge to the infectious single. While Jidenna is hardly the only man is the world leading with a more formal look, it’s still kind of interesting that he rising through the ranks of popular culture, leading one to wonder if the space afforded him doesn’t speak to some push back on or weariness with the super casual look of ath-leisure.
For some added detail on the song, it was revealed yesterday that the beat for the single was sampled from Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy.” Azalea confirmed the news in a Tweet, saying she receives a percentage of sales.
