In addition to the original release, Mutt has been remixed twice, with collaborations including Freddie Gibbs and Chris Brown.
“We’re beyond excited to welcome Bizzy Crook to the Kobalt family,” said Genevieve Huguely, Kobalt’s manager, creative. “His talent as a songwriter and storyteller is undeniable, and his work on Mutt is a testament to the kind of creativity and vision we love to support. Bizzy brings a fresh perspective and a unique voice to everything he touches, and we’re proud to be part of this next chapter in his journey.”
"Ultimately, after 15 years of grinding, being told no, and never giving up, then finally catching my first [hit] record, ownership was important to me,” said Bizzy “I felt like Kobalt best understood my journey, my vision and my value."
