In the 90s, Mariah Carey blazed a trail for R&B-rap collaborations when she recruited Ol’ Dirty Bastard to remix her hit “Fantasy.” In the years since, Mimi has stayed true to her winning formula and repurposed pop hits for the hip-hop market. Now it appears French Montana has flipped her script and engineered a remix of his hit “Unforgettable” featuring R&B vocals from Carey.
