After hearing the teaser, fans of both musicians can’t wait for the full song to drop. Shaq could not resist posting the clip while the audience bombarded with love and eagerness for DJ Crankdat and DJ Snake in the comment section.

A fan found DJ Crankdat’s reaction amusing and got excited about the drop: “bro got flashbanged by his own drop.” Another fan who is excited to see two of his favorite artists coming together for a collaboration wrote, “CRANKSNAKE LOADING.”

One of the fans who could not believe the collaboration was happening simply wrote, “OH MY.” An over-excited fan who thought the drop hit him hard, compared to going through a brick wall to the song. “There’s simply not enough brick walls for me to run though [sic] anymore…”

Even DJ Snake could not resist joining the fans as he wrote, “LET’S GO.”
