Background

"Pop Champagne" featuring Jim Jones and Juelz Santana is actually a remix. The original is solely the producer of the song, Ron Browz. "I was going home one day, and DJ Jazzy Joyce — at 4:30 in the morning — was playing the [song]," Jim Jones recalled of the first time he heard "Pop Champagne." "And I know how much Ron wanted to become an artist and break into the game. ... So when I heard it, I was like, 'Damn, it got a good sound.' ... I was just being courteous, as he did so many hot beats for me. ... So, I jumped on the track, like, 'Let's see what it do.' It started to sound a little bit crazy, and I said, 'Well, let's see if we put Juelz Santana on it how crazy could it get. And I called Young Hub, and Hub was like, 'Aiight, on the strength of you, I'll jump on it for you."[1]
