Taking it back to last year’s Enough Is Enough mixtape, Toronto’s own Big Lean decides to come through today and share a new video in its support for the Boi-1da & Pro Logic-produced record “California Water,” featuring Nipsey Hussle.
Soaking up the beautiful women, weed, & weather, Big Lean shows us what the L.A. streets are really like with Nipsey Hussle in this Zack Facts-directed clip above. Here’s what the Toronto artist had to say about the record…
“I had just come back from L.A. after a month of being out there and was eager to get back into the studio to record. That night I recorded three songs and one of friends asked me ‘What’s going on with you tonight? You’re going ham!” At that moment I replied “I guess it’s something in the water, it’s that California Water,” then I went into the booth and recorded the track in one take.”
“The song is basically everything I was feeling when I first got back to Toronto from that L.A. trip. The energy out there is very different from the energy in the 6. ln my opinion there's nobody more California than Nipsey, and my brothers Pro Logic and Boi-1da are on the beat so it was like a perfect merge of L.A. and Toronto. It's an important song to me.”
