Frontman Ezra Koenig first heard Kartel’s music while researching the Jamaican dancehall scene for a thesis he was writing in college. He became enamored with Kartel’s unique vocal style and the social commentary in his lyrics. -- The song uses Kartel’s signature vocal style and samples his song, “Tenement Yard”.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
