"I'm a gorilla in the fuckin' coupe/Finna pull up in the zoo/I'm like Chief Keef meet Rafiki—who been lyin' "King" to you? (Woo)," Hov rapped on the 2018 track, directly paying homage to Chief Keef's fan-favorite track "Faneto."

Given the possibility of a Chief Keef and Jay-Z collaboration, is that something that you would like to hear on Hov's next album? And as long as the Hip-Hop community gets another full-length project from Jay-Z, would you even care?
