This summer, Sprite invited a variety of artists to a pop-up shop in New York’s Lower East Side and asked them to make a song from scratch in front of a live audience. One such artist was Wale, who was paired with Metro Boomin and the Highbridge Voices choir.

Wale tries “not to have a panic attack,” but he manages to conquer his fears and lay down the vocal for a song called “Voices in My Head.” The haunting children’s choir provides an atmospheric complement to Wale’s melodic verses.

Listen to the finished product and go behind the scenes of their live session below.
