MASKED WOLF ENLISTS SUPERSTARS G-EAZY & DDG FOR SPECIAL REMIX OF HIS GLOBAL SMASH

Elektra recording artist Masked Wolf has enlisted superstars G-Eazy and DDG for a special re-imagining of his global smash. “Astronaut In The Ocean” (remix) feat. G-Eazy & DDG is available now on all streaming services.  Listen HERE.

 

Masked Wolf explains:  “I’ve always wanted to do a remix of Astro, but it had to be right. The song means a lot to me so I really thought about who I wanted on it.  As soon as I heard DDG on ‘Moonwalking,’ I was like, ‘I need this guy.’  He’s so talented and I knew he would rip a crazy verse.  I’m a huge fan of G-Eazy, and, sonically, he fits the song perfectly - he just has that swag about him, but can also talk about real things too.”

  

DDG adds: “The song is so fire.  I heard it like 6 months ago and was like, ‘Damn, I gotta hop on it.’  My boy Masked Wolf is going crazy and is the next big superstar up fasho. I’m honored to be a part of such a big record.”

 

The Australian rapper’s breakout single – also available now on all streaming platforms - has already amassed over half a billion streams to date, and climbed to #1 in 6 countries around the world and currently sits at #1 on the Global Shazam chart.  In the U.S.. “Astronaut In The Ocean” currently sits at #8 on Billboard’s Hot 100, and is quickly proving to be a multi-format success at radio, hitting the Top 15 at both Rhythmic and Pop, and Top 30 at Hot AC. Meanwhile, at home in Australia, the track is now certified ARIA Platinum and  currently sits at #8 on the ARIA singles chart after peaking at #4. Meanwhile, the official music video has logged over 100 million views on YouTube alone.  Last month, Masked Wolf made his world television debut with an epic performance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”  The collaboration with G-Eazy and DDG arrives on the heels of the release of Brazilian superstar Alok’s remix of “Astronaut In The Ocean.”

 

Look out for much more to come from Masked Wolf in 2021.
