South Korean rap star Tablo will release a single in collaboration with American hip-hop artist Joey Bada$$, YG announced Monday.

Yonhap reported Tablo and Joey Bada$$ would participate in a global hip-hop project by Luminant Entertainment, with a song by Korean producer Code Kunst.

Tablo is a member of Epik High, one of South Korea’s foremost hip-hop groups. Joey Bada$$, a Brooklyn rapper, rose to fame in 2012 after releasing “1999,” his debut mixtape.

“We’re excited to see what kind of project the meeting of Tablo and Joey Bada$$ will produce,” YG said.

The single is slated to drop in August.
