Talking about his collaboration with Olsen, Swamp Dogg says: “The first thing I thought was this white boy must be crazier than a motherfucker. But I listened to how deep he’d go experimenting with the music and I liked what he was doing… I was knocked out by what I heard. I couldn’t believe it was me. It’s some of the greatest and most outrageous music I’ve ever heard come out of the Swamp Dogg.”
