Earlier this year, Ross’ “Super High” collaborator Ne-Yo talked with SOHH about working on his Def Jam labelmate’s new LP.

“Our record is definitely doing what it’s supposed to do. I’m happy for that, so shout-out to all the radio and deejays that are running the record. I appreciate the love and shout-out to the people requesting the record on the radio and all of that. I feel like it gives me hope for music again. It’s a quality joint, it’s a quality record. Like I said, it gives me hope that all the garbage you hear on the radio hasn’t dulled everybody’s senses. So I’m happy about that.” (SOHH Guest Star)
