During Sunday night’s (Feb. 5) Grammy Awards, Fridayy closed the show with a performance of his “GOD DID” along with Lil Wayne, JAY-Z, DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, and John Legend. Ahead of this major milestone in his career, the Philadelphia talent celebrated yesterday (Feb. 7) by taking the time to treat his fans to a deluxe version of the Lost In Melody EP.
A little more than a year ago, the album was upgraded to include four new tracks, of which one featured Ty Dolla $ign on the standout single entitled “Shoot.” In the song, both lead vocalists showcase their vocal abilities over the soulful production provided by ReezyTunez and Yonatan Watts:
This version of Lost In Melody first hit the streets back in October of last year, when it was released for the first time. In the project, Vory only contributed to one track out of seven, but it was soon followed by Meek Mill hopping onto “Don’t Give Up On Me” from the same project a couple of months later. Besides his own productions, Fridayy can also be heard on records featuring other artists, such as the collaborations “Forever (Remix)” featuring Ybk Wavy, “Sacrifices” featuring Symba, “Forever” featuring Lil Baby, and more.
In a previous interview, in which the “Empty Stomach” singer Fridayy discussed his collaboration with DJ Khaled, he discussed how “GOD DID” came to be. It was made specifically for him. There were a couple of producers who I knew who knew him. I hear him announce every day that ‘GOD DID’ is what he did on Instagram,” he said. “ I was aware that he was about to release a new album.
As soon as I made it, I contacted the A&R on the publishing side of my company, and they forwarded it to Khaled. It wasn’t long before Khaled hit us the following day. As a matter of fact, I recorded it back in June, and he dropped the trailer a few weeks later, around July 6.”
