Nez Collaborates With Schoolboy Q

The video stars NEZ alongside ScHoolboy Q and fellow Chicagoan Vic Mensa.
“Wild Youngster” is an intoxicating underground dance anthem and is nothing short of a certifiable hit. NEZ comments on the new single: “I want to make people feel again. I want to make people dance. I’m creating my universe through sound. The feeling I got visiting Paris during fashion week and going to the afterparties. In my head, I was thinking ‘what would Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss be partying to in the 90s with Gianni Versace.’ House music started in Chicago, it has always had a major impact on me because that’s the music that we grew up listening and partying to.”
