Background
White was first involved with Q-Tip when he brought him out to perform "That Black Bat Licorice" during a show at Madison Square Garden, then performed "Excursions" by A Tribe Called Quest on January 31, 2015.[4][3]
The production of "Hi-De-Ho" began when White first heard it on the radio, and enjoyed it so much that he had the idea of sampling Calloway's scatting along with a drumbeat. He later invited Q-Tip to be part of the production.[2][3]
