Seven-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and multi-platinum global visionary, will.i.am, is back with a summer hit that resonates with his East L.A. heritage. The new track, “Sick Ass Foos,” features Lil Mr. E from Foos Gone Wild and the rising talent Toxica. With its sharp electro beat, a touch of humor, and undeniable style, this single not only honors Chicano culture but also celebrates anyone proud of their roots.
Foos Gone Wild, which affectionately celebrates and playfully parodies barrio culture, has become a cultural force across social media, music, and fashion, growing into a global movement.
Having grown up in the Estrada Courts housing project in Boyle Heights, I.am draws from firsthand experience, speaking with pride about the community’s rich heritage. The song’s ’80s-inspired production and reference-filled lyrics connect that legacy to the history of West Coast rap, creating something that goes beyond nostalgia. It stands as a tribute to the people, neighborhoods, and culture that continue to shape our identity.
