Evan Hernandez, who is a part of Lil Wayne‘s skater crew Sqvad Up, recently shared some footage of himself on Wayne‘s private jet. In the background on the clip, 2 new Weezy songs can be heard playing.

In the first preview, it sounds like the track samples LL Cool J and Jennifer Lopez’ “Control Myself” (the ZihZih part) and Tune can also be heard rapping: “put some respect on Lil Wayne”, which could be a little shot at Birdman and his “Respek” word.

The second song will be a remix as we can hear Tunechi mentioning his popular “remix baby” saying in the sneak peek. You can check out the video of Evan after the jump below!
