Yesterday, that new episode released – titled “Neo Yokio: Pink Christmas” – and with it came a new song written by Koenig, along with iLoveMakonnen and producer Bloodpop. The song, “Friend Like U”, is sung by Arcangelo Corelli, Kaz Kaan’s rival and competitor for Neo Yokio’s favourite bachelor, at around the 33 minute mark in the Christmas special. It is also reprised towards the episode’s climax, with an added verse from Kaz Kaan himself (who is voice by Jaden Smith), delivered in Smith’s familiar laid-back style. Escape the algorithm!
