The MC is building on the success of his two mixtapes Nehru Jackets and Wild Water Kingdom, by releasing Eat, Pray, Thug.

Discussing the collaboration with Rolling Stone, Heems said: "When Dev was Lightspeed Champion he had a little-known rap MySpace called 'Ni**a Bullshit'. This was when we first started talking about a collaboration."
The track goes all the way back to Heems' university days: "I wrote some of the lyrics in college at Wesleyan, some before Das Racist in Bushwick and most of it in my engineer Daniel Lynas' old studio with Dev in Dumbo."
