The Making Of Lil Mosey's "Blueberry Faygo" With Callan | Deconstructed

When it leaked in late December, Lil Mosey’s “Blueberry Faygo” became an unofficial hit. Since the release of the official song, which samples Johnny Gill’s R&B hit, “My, My, My,” it peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has amassed an enormous 93 million streams on Spotify. Genius recently sat down with Seattle producer Callan to break down how the song came together.

@Mystical Mac i hate when people say "anyone can do that" if anyone can do it, then why isn't everybody doing it? Callan has worked hard, it takes a long time to grab a rappers attention to the point where the rapper asks you for a beat pack. Callan is doing "what everyone can do" because its what makes money.

This is what i meant with "dropping leaks" artist act all scared because their music gets leaked and gets a tons of views. If you're smart enough just release it quickly after before the hype ends!!!

[@conoradams1639]

Fantasy United someone tell playboi carti this shit

[@miguel.9357]

Honestly mosey dropped it way too late, the hype from tiktok died out. Thankfully as soon as he officially dropped it the hype started building again

[@christiannleee]

i think it was because they needed to clear shit for the beat

[@PixDDD]

problem is that they have samples to clear, so it's not always possible to officially release quickly.

[@kacperdorau7961]

That’s not how it works, music has to be cleared by label, publisher etc. Things take time especially when it involves legalities such as sample clearance.

[@StayWithTheHoney]

i really dig the fact that he's putting music theory behind this shit

[@ishibusah5210]

Koren Stalnaker youre a fucking idiot lmao. There’s definitely music theory in this shit
