When Jamie xx (Drake’s Take Care) dropped In Colour‘s lead single, the Young Thug and Popcaan-featured “Good Times,” eyes popped nationwide. How would Thug, an incessantly vulgar, eerily-pitched mixtape rapper from Atlanta mesh with Popcaan, the prolific and tranquil reggae crooner and Jamie, the electronic and house producer from overseas?
