1. Gucci Mane, Bruno Mars, Kodak Black – Wake Up in The Sky [Official Music Video]
About:
“Wake Up in the Sky” is a song by American rapper Gucci Mane, American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, and American rapper Kodak Black. It was released by Guwop and Atlantic Records as the third single from Mane’s thirteenth studio album Evil Genius on September 14, 2018. The song was written by Mane, Mars, Black, Chance Youngblood, Dwan Avery and Jeff LaCroix, and produced by Mars and the latter three under their aliases Tarentino, DY and Tre Pounds. “Wake Up in the Sky” is a hip hop, pop and soul song with a trap beat, and lyrics about feeling good and enjoying life.
“Wake Up in the Sky” received mostly positive reviews from music critics who found its chorus catchy and appreciated it for eschewing the trap-indebted sound of Evil Genius. The song reached number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was certified five times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The track peaked at number one on the US Rhythmic chart and it also charted in the top 40 in Canada, Hungary, Norway and Slovakia. Mars and Florent Dechard directed the song’s music video, in which Mane, Mars and Black perform as a 1980s soul music trio dressed in suits and jewelry.
In June 2018, Gucci Mane told Billboard that he worked with who he considered the best producers for Evil Genius to prove to his fans that he is “still passionate about the music”. “Wake Up in the Sky” is Mane’s second collaboration with Bruno Mars, the first being Mane’s remix of Mars’ single “That’s What I Like” (2017). Mane and Kodak Black first collaborated on “Vibin in This Bih”, which appears on Black’s mixtape Lil B.I.G. Pac (2016). It is the first song Black recorded since being released from prison in August 2018 for a number of felony charges. “Wake Up in the Sky” was written by Mane, Mars, Black, Chance Youngblood, Dwan Avery and Jeff LaCroix, and produced by Mars and the latter three under their aliases Tarentino, DY and Tre Pounds. The track was mixed by Serban Ghenea.
Mars first teased the collaboration by sharing an image of himself and Black on Instagram in late August 2018. On September 13, 2018, Mane shared the single’s cover art on Instagram and announced that the collaboration would be released the following day. The cover art is an airplane window view of an ice cream cone-shaped cloud. Guwop and Atlantic Records released “Wake Up in the Sky” for digital download and streaming on September 14, 2018, as the album’s third single.
