liner notes
First single off the Calm + Collect Remix Compilation (2026).
DJ Spinn, Nick Hook, and Scatta cut this footwork VIP of Old English years ago — Teklife engine room running under the 2014 Salva + Nick Hook beat with Young Thug, Freddie Gibbs, and A$AP Ferg on top.
It's been a live weapon since — played around the world without ever landing officially.
Calm + Collect is finally giving it a home.

Listen to "Old English", a new song from A$AP Ferg, Young Thug, and Freddie Gibbs

Young Thug, A$AP Ferg & Freddie Gibbs Poured Out "Old English" Over A Salva Beat
“With the help of Salva and Nick Hook who handle the trap-heavy production, Thug, Ferg, and Gibbs swag oozes on the track with their contrasting flows — but there's a darker undertone underneath it all.”
