Tyga and Swae Lee link up on "Shine."

Tyga made a formal comeback this summer after years of being plagued by his association to the Kardashian clan as well as his financial issues. However, the rapper has been killing the circuit this year and releasing arguably some of the best music he's made in years. Earlier this week, he took to Instagram to tease a remix to Kodak Black, Travis Scott and Offset's collaboration, "ZEZE" which recently debuted at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, Tyga releases the remix in its entirety with some assistance from Swae Lee.

Tyga and Swae Lee team up on their remix of "ZEZE" which they've titled, "Shine." Tyga and Swae Lee both have a proven track record with island-inspired production. Tyga and Swae Lee take the D.A. Doman production and flip it into something that's entirely their own. Tyga holds down the first verse while Swae Lee holds down an infectious hook that's arguably better than the original that Travis Scott laid down.

Tyga's been clearly putting his focus towards making bangers this year. He took over the summer with his single, "Taste" and continued his streak with "Swish," "Dip," and "Swap Meet."

As for Swae Lee, he recently announced a solo EP so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Quotable Lyrics
I eat this beat like a TV dinner
On your TV, don't fall asleep on a n***a
I'm swimmin' in this money, R.I.P Mac Miller
And I'm loyal to my soil, I'm a hometown hero
