Kodak Black Says Lockjaw Hook Started as a Freestyle


Kodak Black - Everything 1k [Lil BIG Pac]

On Thursday, French Montana and Kodak Black released the music video for their summer hit, Lockjaw. In a new interview, Kodak reveals that the songs hook was originally a freestyle before it became the fully fleshed out chorus that it is now.

The beat came on, and [French] was trying to figure out the hook to it, says lil Kodak in the video above. He was in the booth trying to go off the head with a melody to try and come up with something. I didnt even really like how he was coming with it. I came up with something better in my head. So I told him to record me.

The 18-year-old continues, That song, we made it weird. It wasnt all at one time. The hook wasnt supposed to be the hook, really. Then [French] was like, Oh, we can just keep repeating it and then we made the hook.

The Ben Billions-producedtrack is a sonic masterpiece about drugs, liquor, women and guns. French and Kodak use a back-and-forth strategy fortheir braggadocious verses, and the music video amplifies the overall effect. Neighborhood folkshow off their motorcycle and ATV tricks and flash wads of cash as the NY and Floridarappers take the viewer on a tour of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and Broward County, Fla..

In other Kodak news, the up-and-comers new mixtape, Lil B.I.G. Pac, is set to drop tomorrow (June 11), and its got a collab with Gucci Mane on it. Lockjaw will appear on Montanas forthcoming album, MC4.
