Regarding the collaboration, Sherm shares:
Halil Sensei and I are from completely different parts of the world but that didn’t stop us from going above and beyond to make something special. Halil has been making big waves since his first single “The Underground” on Hood Poli last year and I knew that a collab would happen one day. We fused my style of Chicago inspired tech house with Sensei’s melodic leads and lyrics and turned out to be the perfect recipe for the sound of Hood Politics Records. I’m truly obsessed with this track and we’re so stoked to finally let the world feel the raw power that it possesses.”
Halil Sensei continues with more insight on the track’s inception:
Toxic’ is definitely the most important track in my career. When we started working on this track, I truly felt that something amazing would come out of it. Since collaborating with Hood Politics, a lot has changed in my career. This song we did with Sherm will leave a huge impact on the listeners. I really believe in this track.”
