California-born trap bass producer, RL Grime is no stranger to the EDM scene. His songs run the gamut of dance music’s genres though he specializes in trap and hip-hop remixes, along with his original music.

The two produced a well-known remix of Kanye West’s “Mercy” back in 2012 and remixed the Jamie Lidell song “What a Shame” in 2013. They join together once again to give us a trappy, albeit somewhat darker version of Travi$ Scott’s “Skyfall”.
