Legendary Atlanta producer DJ Toomp claims that Def Jam is “protecting that sh*t like a precious emerald.”
It doesn’t look like the song will be released any time soon, since the Def Jam exec that showed Toomp the song was hesitant to share it with him in the first place. “[She] only wanted to play it for me one time. She was like, ‘I’m really not supposed to be playing this for you, Toomp,'” he explained. “She played it, and I was like, ‘Play it one more time’ and she played half of it. That was my first and last time hearing it.”
Of course, Jay and Riri have made music together in the past, with hits like “Run This Town” with Kanye West, the title track from Rihanna’s sixth studio album Talk That Talk, and, most memorably, Ri’s breakout single, “Umbrella.” However, if this mysterious track is the only currently existing song the two artists have made together, it looks like we’ll be waiting a long time for their next collab. But who knows, maybe Jay will be featured on Ri’s upcoming album? That is, if she ever releases it.
