The latest from DJcity regulars Lemi Vice and Action Jackson is a moombahton flip of Lil Wayne‘s 2004 hit “Go DJ.” The single was Wayne’s first solo hit, reaching the top three on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks chart and becoming a top-20 single on their Hot 100 chart.

“We were going through old 12-inches looking for acapellas to flip and came across this classic joint that I think all DJs love for obvious reasons,” Vice and Jackson said. We gave it a lil bit of a Latin flavor and replayed the melody using steel drums so that it would be updated for today’s rooms but wouldn’t take too much away from the spirit of the OG.”

Preview Lemi Vice and Action Jackson’s “Go DJ” remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.
