When XXL rapper Kanye West recently suggested to Justin Bieber via Twitter that he and Raekwon should remix the 16-year-old Canadian’s single Runaway Love, it seemed like an unlikely collaboration.
However, West tweeted on August 18 about going into the studio with Raekwon later that same day, and yesterday Raekwon confirmed that work on the remix had already begun.
"It’s definitely gonna happen," Raekwon said. "When you got these kinda talents merging together to do something exciting, I think it’s something that’s gonna make the fans check it out. I’m a big fan of both of these guys. I think, at the end of the day, shorty [Bieber] is a sensation. And [for him] to acknowledge me it makes me feel good that the young generation is checkin’ me out like that. And at the same time it gives me a position to play a big brother in the game. He wants my assistance or whatever, he can get it. I respect him, I like his style."
