blink-182 and Lil Wayne just teamed up for a mashup of their hits, “What’s My Age Again?” and “A Milli.”
The instrumentation from the pop-punk anthem gives new life to Lil Wayne’s second verse:
A million here, a million there
Sicilian bitch with long hair, with coke in her derriere
Like smoking the thinnest air
I open the Lamborghini, I’m hopin' them bitches see me
Like, “Look at that bastard Weezy!”
Their work has previously bled into each other’s originating genres. In 2010, Weezy released his (generally panned) rock debut, Rebirth. Meanwhile, Travis Barker has carved out a space for himself in hip-hop, working with 03 Greedo, Lil Nas X, and Playboi Carti.
Last month, Barker talked to The FADER about his love for Wayne. “I was kind of raised on his music. I always loved Lil Wayne’s music, even from like the Hot Boys days. We toured together in 2006. I think we collaborated with each other in 2005 on my solo album. We played the Grammys together with Eminem and Drake. I played on his rock album. So we had collaborated a lot.”
The artists are set to head back out on their co-headlining North America tour later this month. Rolling Stone notes that a live version of the mashup was released when the tour was announced back in May.
The drummer also said he’s looking for the right time to release a new collab with the rapper. “I have a song that’s got Wayne on it, a verse from Rick Ross, and Anderson. Paak’s on the chorus,” he said. “So I’m trying to figure it out to where I can possibly release it on this tour.”
blink-182 will drop their eighth studio album, Nine, on Sept. 20, and they’ve already released the songs “Happy Days,” “Generational Divide” and “Blame It On My Youth.”
