"Walk" is a song by American rapper Comethazine. It is the fourth single from his debut mixtape Bawskee (2018), and is considered his breakout hit. On March 18, 2019, a remix of the song featuring American rapper ASAP Rocky was released.

Music video

A music video for the song was directed by Cole Bennett and released on September 22, 2018. In it, Comethazine plays the role of a husband and father in a family.[1]

Remix

The official remix of the song features American rapper ASAP Rocky and was released on March 18, 2019. Comethazine premiered it on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show. In regards to his collaboration, he stated that Rocky had reached out to him before the release of his mixtape Bawskee 2, that the remix was not made in an in-person session since both artists were on the road, and that they finished working on the song after Bawskee 2 was released.[2] In addition, Comethazine praised Rocky's style, saying "I fuck with Rocky, bro. We both walk around like that for real, basically. So he just relates to me a lot... He's got a real good energy. He's real creative."[3]

On the remix, ASAP Rocky performs the opening verse, before Comethazine raps for the rest of the song.[2] In his verse, Rocky raps about his wealth, references comedian Katt Williams' fight with a teenager in 2016,[4][5] and uses a pun on Pebbles cereal and The Flintstones sitcom.[6]

ASAP Rocky's feature was well-received by music critics. Aron A. of HotNewHipHop gave the remix a "Very Hottttt" rating and described Rocky as "flexing his volatile flow".[2] Jordan Coley of Uproxx commented that Rocky, "as one would expect, absolutely brings the heat", and wrote, "Rocky is a natural fit over song's buzzy, extraterrestrial-sounding melody. Between its crisp claps and thudding 808, his silky, veteran cool is also a pleasant compliment to Comethazine's sneering brashness."[6]
