Platinum Duo DVBBS Joins Forces with Gammy-Nominated Jeremih and SK8 for Summer Anthem “Crew Thang”

Canadian brothers DVBBS teams up with Grammy-nominated R&B artist Jeremih and singer-songwriter SK8 for “Crew Thang,” a genre-bending collaboration. The track’s unique style rides on dynamic melodies and groovy house basslines, all wrapped up with upbeat but velveteen vocals for a perfect balance of sexy and fun. This combination makes for the perfect anthem, launching this year’s summer season, making unforgettable memories, and doing your own crew thang on or off the dance floor. It follows DVBBS‘s “Synergy” with Timmy Trumpet from last month, “Next To You” with Loud Luxury and Kane Brown from February, and the cheeky “SH SH SH (Hit That)” with Wiz KhalifaUrfavxboyfriend and Goldsoul from the same month, also on Ultra RecordsJeremih recently released “Chose You” with French Montana, and earlier his solo single “Changes” on Def Jam/Universal Music Group. Be on the lookout for an official music video for “Crew Thang,” coming out very soon.

Summer starts now… Big love to Jeremih for lending us his incredibly talented voice and our bro SK8 for making this come to life. ‘Crew Thang‘ is for you and your crew to turn up. 2023 vibes.” – DVBBS

Following a huge single off my last project featuring DVBBS and Wiz Khalifa, I’m stoked to create something special with DVBBS again, and this time with Jeremih – an artist I’ve looked up to for a minute. ‘Crew Thang‘ is a blend of uptempo house mixed with pop melodies that make you feel good and wanna dance. This is another super proud moment in my career. Looking forward to touring and performing this song all summer.” – SK8

Jeremih

He quickly rose to fame in 2009 with his Top 10 debut single “Birthday Sex,” a lewd lullaby of sorts that sounded like nothing else at the time, optimizing the R&B artist’s slinking vocals and explicit wordplay. The slow jam effectively launched the Chicago native’s career, one that has been studded with additional and quite different Top 10 hits – “Down on Me” and “Don’t Tell ‘Em,” among several more gold and platinum singles. “Jeremih” (2009), “All About You” (2010), and “Late Nights: The Album” (2015), his first three LPs were similarly awarded, while “Planez” earned Jeremih a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance. “Late Nights with Jeremih” and “Late Nights: The Album” became the first two parts of a trilogy with the August 2016 release of the commercial mixtape “Late Nights: Europe.” The collection was highlighted by “London,” featuring Stefflon Don and Krept & Konan, and “Paris (Who Taught You),” assisted by Ty Dolla $ignJeremih and fellow Chicagoan Chance The Rapper closed out 2016 with the collaborative holiday mixtape “Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama.” During 2017 and 2018, Jeremih released a handful of singles, and in the latter, more productive year, the singer bundled four new solo cuts as “The Chocolate Box,” and teamed up again with Ty Dolla $ign to issue the full-length project “Mih-Ty.” Jointly issued by Def Jam and Ty‘s home label, Atlantic Records, “Mih-Ty” placed at number 60 on the Billboard 200. Its single “The Light” went goldJeremih issued some more singles in 2020, but during that year through 2022, he was much more active in featured artist and co-headliner roles, appearing on Afrojack and Chico Rose‘s “Cloud 9,” Kito and ZHU‘s “Follow,” and Benny Benassi‘s “Lovelife,” among many other tracks.

SK8

At 15, you could find SK8 in his room writing lyrics, and by his sophomore year, you could find him handing out CDs in high school. The 23-year-old moved to Los Angeles from OmahaNebraska, and linked with the venerable Taylor Gang, first breaking into the mainstream with his gold-certified single, “Like That,” with Jack & Jack and opening for revered rap icons like Lil Wayne2 Chainz, and Rae SremmurdSK8 began building a dedicated fanbase of dreamers who related to his message of seizing every moment long before his eventual move to LA. Shortly after founding his own imprint – Alignment, and formally signing a joint venture with Atlantic Records via James McMillan‘s ART@WARSK8 released his major label debut EPsk8sounds, which was buttressed by the standout singles “Omme (feat. Wiz Khalifa),” “XXX” and “Mood (feat. YK Osiris).” Over a year later, SK8 has turned a new page in his career with his first single of 2021, “Famous (feat. Tyla Yaweh),” and its associated forthcoming project, which finds the rising singer seamlessly blending punk/rock instrumentation with his hip-hop origins, the latest but not last development in SK8‘s rapidly evolving artistry.
