Johnny Lugautti has followed the release of his recent Diablo EP by joining forces with Yung Bleu for their new collaboration “Secrets.”
Complete with a video shot at one of Bleu’s lively pool parties, “Secrets,” attempts to peel the layers back on the inhibitions possible future partners may hold back during the courting phase.
“What inspired me for this song was just the way relationships go in this generation I don’t feel like there’s a lot of honesty and lots of secrets from both sides so I put a playful twist to it,” Johnny Lugautti said. “To me it’s a road trip vibe when you and your shordy just cruising otw to the beach or vacation, Right now was the best time because it’s almost summer and the summer vibes are unmatched.”
The release of “Secrets,” arrives at a high point for Johnny Lugautti, who managed to break through into the Top 40 chart at Urban Radio with he and Kevin Gate’s “Prada Me,” collaboration.
“I already had the song [“Prada Me,”] done I was actually in the studio finishing up the verse when my manager, Lynn came in and told me Kevin gates finna come get on the song,” Johnny said of the recording of the track. “30 minutes later he walked in the studio with his management, he pulled out his blackberry phone and started writing after we exchanged a few words, his team told me when he starts writing on the blackberry you know it’s gonna be a hell of a verse and it was, so again I wasn’t surprised because I watched him record it.”
The track arrived on Johnny’s recent EP, Diablo, which represents some of his more poignant work, as of late.
“To me it’s just pure fun and energy, we recorded the whole thing in one day probably about 4 hours, Goldie14 my bro so we just had a fun night and made history out of it,” Johnny Lugautti said.
Among the tracks on the EP, Johnny reveals that his favorite is “U Can.” He explains that the song holds a deeper message, inspiring listeners to defy limitations and follow their dreams. In a world where people are often discouraged from pursuing their aspirations, Johnny aims to empower them with a simple yet powerful message: “U CAN.”
Now, On the heels of he and Doodie Lo’s “Go,” Johnny Lugautti plans to ignite a campaign to release even more collaborations before the end of 2023 — Which was kicked off by he and his 3G label mate Dee-Aye’s Darker Than Me collaboration.
