The track immediately topped streaming and genre charts upon its arrival, and on Jan.
Below, NYLON caught up with director Breslauer and producer Podesta over email to get all the deets about the making of “Kill Bill” from its grueling production schedule, the alternative cameos on the table, and more.: SZA told me she was looking to finally give her fans a complete narrative visual and since we have been fans of each other for quite some time. She felt my style had a beautiful way of telling stories but that they also perfectly complemented the record.
Vivica A. Fox is involved. What other cameos were on the table, and what was it like having Fox in the studio?: We shot this a couple days before Christmas actually, so availability was an issue.
