Snap review of new music
Lil Wayne
Coming soon after the release of the original version that dropped in August, the new version of How we roll is indeed a level up. After having previously claimed that her dream collaborator was Lil Wayne, Body party hitmaker Ciara joined hands with the rapper to release the remix version of her Chris Brown-assisted single.

The original was a classic RnB number and had all the tropes that could be associated with a Chris Brown song. Seductive and smooth, it played to the strengths of the artistes associated with it. While the number was certainly complete, and needed no assistance, it’s tough to deny that Wayne makes it a tad more addictive.
In this edition, the rapper delivers a groovy opening verse that precedes Ciara’s delivery. Interestingly, the artiste’s work isn’t relegated to singing alone as he also plays a live guitar on the track.
