STEVE AOKI Single “How Else” Ft. Rich The Kid and iLOVEMAKONNEN Out Now on Ultra Music

At the top of 2016, STEVE AOKI surprised the blogsphere with “How Else,” a fiery collaboration with Rich The Kid and iLoveMakonnen. Taking  a new twist, the track-with its catchy ‘Whip It’ hook– struck a chord from the likes of The Fader, HipHopDX, Rap Radar and HotNewHipHop who wrote, “…it makes effective use of Makonnen yelling, ‘How else am I gon’ get it?’ Rich and Makonnen’s snappy trap punchlines go surprisingly well alongside Aoki’s wonky bass drops, and ‘How Else’ should have some crossover appeal come festival season.” Elsewhere, Complex it as”…a mind-bending electronic experience that actually sounds great with Makonnen and Rich’s verses.”  Now, just in time for summer parties everywhere, the song is available through Ultra Music, accompanied by a video which made its debut on The FADER earlier today.
