Last week, one of the most interesting collaborations we’ve seen in a while dropped. The song “I’m A Goner” (created for a Converse campaign) paired Soulja Boy with Matt & Kim and Andrew W.K. This unique combination raised a few eyebrows and we couldn’t help but wonder how those three ended up together. So we got on the horn with Soulja Boy who told us about what it’s like to work with Matt & Kim and how Andrew W.K. is a Souja Boy fan.

As told to Andre Grant (@drejones)

How the song came about

“Converse got in contact with me about a month ago, around my birthday. I came up to the Converse office. [Laughs.] I was skating through the whole office, hollering at everybody.

Getting in the studio with Matt & Kim and Andrew W.K.

“I was in Miami and I flew to New York and got in the studio with Matt & Kim and Andrew W.K. I’m a fan of Matt & Kim, they got dope videos. We kicked it. I showed them a couple of my videos. They showed me some of their stuff. We played different beats and then I went into this vibe with them.
