Over the weekend, a plethora of worried stars begged fans to pray for R&B singer Jeremih, who had apparently been hospitalized with symptoms of COVID-19. Big Sean, Chance The Rapper, Hitmaka, and more took to social media to implore their followers to direct their thoughts to the Late Nights singer, who 50 Cent revealed was in the ICU. 50 also admonished fans to take COVID seriously. On Sunday, 50 gave fans a little good news, however; in a tweet, he said Jeremih is “responsive today, doing a little better.”

Jeremih is far from the first hip-hop star to require treatment for the deadly coronavirus. Kim Kardashian confirmed in October her husband Kanye West had a “scary” case of COVID-19 in March, while Houston rap legend Scarface, Griselda Records founder Westside Gunn, and incarcerated South Florida rapper YNW Melly all recovered from the virus. Unfortunately, New York underground rap mainstay Fred The Godson died at 35 after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Precautions taken against the virus’ spread forced the closure of most live entertainment venues across the country and wiped out plans for dozens of festivals and tours, costing many musicians and technicians their livelihoods over the past year. While some festivals plan to attempt returns in 2021, the outlook isn’t good, with thousands of new cases per day and no plan in sight from the irresponsible leadership of the recently deposed Donald Trump, who reportedly infected over 130 of the Secret Service agents tasked with his protection.

Night Wolf and The Fods deliver hopeful pop bliss on “Kickback”

The single “Kickback,” co-released by Night Wolf and The Fods, carries a naturally gentle, warm, relaxed atmosphere that fits perfectly with late-night city drives or any moment of solitude meant to shake off the pressure of daily life. This track is an all-new rework of The Fods’ original song.

Producer Night Wolf retained only the original track’s vocal elements, rebuilt all production content from the ground up, and refined the final work into a polished ambient pop piece with subtle trip-hop textures. The core members involved in this creation include Neil “Birch” Birchall, Alan Winn, Chris “EZ” Ranson, Paul “Ol” Collins, and lyricist Rob Critchley.

Every part of the creative process serves a unified overall mood, with none of the production layers overpowering the others. The biggest strength of this work is its outstanding balance, and it feels both reflective and vividly fresh, both relaxed and holding a quiet, uplifting tension.

“Kickback” is the first collaboration between the two acts, who first connected through a radio station. Their natural creative alignment made their artistic chemistry develop exceptionally smoothly. This partnership will carve out its own unique place in indie pop and chill electronica.
