Girl Talk, aka Pittsburgh-based producer Gregg Gillis, and Bas release a new single, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “Fallin’.” This is their second collaborative track, following “Outta Pocket” for Dreamville’s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Revenge of the Dreamers III. “Fallin’” uses dynamic production - spacious layered synths, ​ skittering hi-hats, and speaker-rattling 808s - to capture the haze of a late night drive. Bas’ delivery is ever-changing, jumping from rapid-fire double-time flows to spaced-out harmonies ​ to a screwed-and-chopped breakdown.

“Bas came on my radar with his ‘Too High to Riot’ project in 2016. I was really into his range. ​ He's a technical rapper who also has an amazing melodic sense. It's kind of difficult to define his style, which is something I always admire. When we connected, I had a wide variety of beats ready for him. This was the first one that I played, and he was off and running! There were a couple different tangential parts where he completely switched up the style of his vocals. For those sections, we ended up re-doing some of the arrangements and production on the spot. The whole thing came together quickly!” ​

"I first saw Girl Talk at Catalpa Music Festival in NYC in 2012. I said ‘who's this dude that's ​ ​ ​ blasting toilet paper everywhere?’ But he has the festival rocking and it was my favorite set of the weekend. I started following him over the years and thought he was great, but didn't know he was also a producer too,” comments Bas. “Fast-forward, we ended up linking up and he had ​ ​ ​ ​ BANGERS. We had great chemistry and started making songs instantly. This experience has been a real fiend full circle story! Really excited to share this record with the world!" ​

“Fallin’” follows Girl Talk producing G Perico's latest single, "Toolie," and a group ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ collaboration between Smoke DZA, Wiz Khalifa, Big K.R.I.T., and Curren$y, “Santos House ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Party.”
