Does anyone else remember those 2000s mega-mixes of songs like “I’m So Hood” and “One Blood?” A popular rap song would get a remix that featured way too many guest stars, ranging from dancehall deejays to R&B court jesters like T-Pain. They were a sort of much more obnoxious version of rap supercrew posse cuts, aimed at drawing in as many of the featured artists’ fans as possible to extend the life of a smash hit way beyond its usual expiration date.

Gen Z finally has its version of this, thanks to Cash Cobain and Laila! On “Problem,” the sample drill pioneer remixes the second-gen rapper’s TikTok hit “Not My Problem” into a prime example of the form. The track features verses from a diverse group of MCs including blog rap vets 6lack and Big Sean, as well as teen star Luh Tyler.

Even mixtape staple Fabolous makes an appearance, while Atlanta rappers Anycia, Flo Milli, Kaliii, and Lay Bankz provide gender parity. New Yorker Kelz2busy, Don Q, and Kenzo B round out the Big Apple roster, with New Orleans rising star Rob49 completing the cipher. To keep things appealing to the target demo, the verses are kept short, bringing the entire track to seven minutes — five shorter than “One Blood,” so there’s that, at least.
