Produced by Cash Dillon, the jam features the Wildheart crooner’s gritty vocals with some complementary bars from Scott.

“Don’t stop, I wanna ride that wave / All night, I wanna ride that wave,” demands Miguel on the hook. “Look here, wanna surf in it baby.”

The project included collaborations with Kurupt on “NWA” and Lenny Kravitz on “face the sun.”

He also debuted the official visual for “Waves” last October, which featured him having a blast under water.
