Drake contributes a verse and the hook to this track by BlocBoy JB. The Memphis rapper is signed to Drizzy's label OVO Sound and this is the first collaboration between the pair.
Drake''s father Dennis Graham, is a Memphis native and the Toronto MC references during the chorus his Bluff City roots. 901 Shelby Drive, look alive, look alive ('live) 901 is the area code for Memphis, where BlocBoy JB is from. The young Aubrey "Drake" Graham spent his summers with his father in the East Shelby Drive area located in the south east of the city.
Speaking with Fader BlocBoy explained how he first hooked up with Drake. "OK, so, he had posted the song [on Instagram], and as soon as he posted it, I had replied 100. And then he was like, 'My favourite rapper! We gotta cook.' As soon as I said, 'OK,' he called me. And then the next day, he sent me his part of the song. He knew my producer [Tay Keith] already so he was already talking to him and he got the beat from him, sent it to me early in the morning. I jumped straight up and went to the studio. Then about two or three days later, he was in the city and we shot the video."
