Teknique lands collaboration with DaBaby

Florida-based, Jamaica-born recording artiste Teknique has released the single Coil, featuring rap star DaBaby.

The single premiered on popular US-based video blog site WorldStarHipHop and BET. It is being distributed by Empire Distribution.

Coil is produced by Megatron Muzik and Mining Gold, and was made possible through Teknique's manager, Dre Ja.

Teknique said, "My manager puts marketing at the forefront, so it was no surprise that he made this collab happen. DaBaby has a global brand, so this collaboration will help position my brand in several markets."

Teknique added, "This song, to me, isn't just hip-hop or rap or dancehall, it's world music. A fusion of great sounds."

The artiste also shared that while the song is about money, he chose to take a unique approach by using the word 'coil' instead of 'racks', 'bread', or even 'stacks'.

"I like to be unique in everything I do and say. I am a trendsetter. This collab shows my versatility and my ability to fuse multiple genres to make great music," he said. The video for Coil was shot in Portland.

Teknique will be promoting both Coil and another single, Well Well Wild, in North America and the Caribbean.
