BEAM “helped write this song and yeah, once again, his little pockets are crazy and I love experimenting with new pockets, new rhythms,” Bieber explains.
Justin Bieber released a new song this week, his second in as many weeks. With “Honest,” on which Toliver contributes guest vocals, Bieber follows up his recent single “I Feel Funny,” which was accompanied by a music video shot by Cole Bennett and featuring a cameo from Don Toliver.
Despite being an upbeat song, “Honest” has its own visual. Another Bennett-cut clip shows the two artists riding pimped-out snowmobiles like they’re in a James Bond movie. Like “Funny,” “Honest” keeps its musical feet planted firmly in hip-hop territory.
