DJ Khaled ft. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller – Wild thoughts
(o) Santana ft. The Product G&B – Maria Maria (1999). Product G&B bestond als r&b-duo uit David McRae en Marvin Moore-Hough. Toch was het de mentor achter deze act die zijn stempel drukte op ‘ Maria Maria’ en dat was ex-Fugee Wyclef Jean.
Carlos Santana zelf is aardig te spreken over het gebruik van zijn gitaarsample door Khaled: “There is a reason that the infectious groove/theme that Wyclef and I created on ‘Maria Maria’ still resonates today. It speaks to the heart. DJ Khaled, Rihanna and Bryson take that vibe and bring it to a new dimension with ‘Wild Thoughts,’ but the groove and essence of the song is still intact.” continuing to say, “I am honored that DJ Khaled, Rihanna & Bryson felt the intense intentionality of ‘Maria Maria’ and have shared this summer vibe with the world.” Beluister origineel
