When Jessie J wanted to add some swagger to her album, she looked to Lil Wayne. The �Price Tag� singer reveals that the Young Money rapper inspired one of the more colorful cuts on her debut.
�I was obsessed with Lil Wayne at one point,� Jessie told Rap-Up.com. Weezy�s influence can be heard in her music, particularly the Oak-produced �Rainbow,� a track off Who You Are, due April 12 in the U.S.
�The song is basically about how we�re all colors of the rainbow and how we need to share the pot of gold,� she explained. �We all may be different, but we�re all the same really. Everyone bleeds red and we all get blue sometimes. The lyrics are a play on words with colors, but my delivery is very like yup, yup, still very Lil Wayne-y. It�s one of my favorites.�
The 23-year-old Brit would love to collaborate with Weezy. �That would be like a dream. I think he�s incredible and I love his swagger. I feel like he should win an award for how he acts in videos. I think he�s one of those one-take people who rolls in, does a sick take, and just rolls out,� she said, adding, �Lil Wayne and Nicki [Minaj], those two are killin� it right now.�
