“Before I wrote “everything sucks”, I found GRACEY’s music online and was already a fan. After we released “everything sucks” and the idea of doing remixes for the song came along, I immediately thought about GRACEY. We connected on the idea and she quickly put a verse down that’s straight fire and feels so good. I’m glad we’re able to finally put this out and share it with the world.” – vaultboy
