Following his popular remix of Rae Sremmurd‘s “Black Beatles,” MAKJ has returned with another dubstep-influenced rework.
This time, the California DJ/producer has flipped Fatman Scoop and the Crooklyn Clan’s timeless party starter, “Be Faithful.” The hard-hitting remix has already received support from heavyweights like Diplo, Lil Jon, and NGHTMRE.
“I’ve been playing [the original] record for years now, but having a remix that’s club-friendly and also saves you from an awkward dance floor is essential,” MAK told us.
