Behind the Song: How Breyan Isaac & Donny Flores Made Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Bongos’ | Billboard News

Producers Breyan Isaac and Donny “Dizzy” Flores share how they collaborated on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s new song “Bongos.”

Tetris Kelly:
All right, guys, so I got to start right away by asking you: You’ve never worked together. I think this is your first time working together, so how did this even start? How did you end up on a track with Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion?

Donny “Dizzy” Flores:
I know Breyan, you know, we’re from Miami, like, we were all coming up, you know, splitting sandwiches and, you know, going through the struggle. He went his way with Mike Caren and they did a lot of crazy hits for Flo Rida, and I mean, I’ll let him tell you about that. Then I, you know, I moved on with DJ Snake and everything else. As you know, the pandemic we just catch back up again. It was like God put us in, you know, each other’s life for a reason. So it’s like, “Let’s just start working and building some more stuff together.” And this was just, you know, one of them we did. Here we are now.

Tetris Kelly:
You’re following “WAP,” which was a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song. That’s a lot to live up to. So now that the track is out, what do you think makes it so different than what the girls offered in the past?

Breyan Isaac:
It’s a completely different feel. I mean, it’s a new kind of like bounce, a new kind of vibe to be honest. Like, production-wise, it’s a different kind of direction from what “WAP” was. “WAP” was a little bit more like a mid-tempo vibe. This is definitely more of a simple, more driving, giving you some actions, something to do, you know?

Tetris Kelly:
And now that it’s finished, are you guys satisfied with the product?

Breyan Isaac:
Absolutely.
