Post Malone’s producer, Andrew Watt, is now Ozzy Osbourne’s producer (and, at least for studio purposes, his guitarist). That means Ozzy has a hip young friend (Watt is 30, Ozzy is 72) to show him lotsa “cool” stuff Ozzy might have otherwise never encountered.
That includes, apparently, “Let’s Go,” the 2004 Trick Daddy song which features a sample of Ozzy’s “Crazy Train.” Watt not only played Ozzy the song for the first time, but he filmed Ozzy’s reaction and sent it to Lil Jon — who appears on the track — who, in turn, posted it on social media, so that now we can all enjoy it.
And Dio bless Lil Jon for doing so, because it’s fucking FANTASTIC. I mean, the look on Ozzy’s face is just… indescribably wonderful.
Do not deprive yourself of this extraordinary experience. You can watch it below.
Ozzy and Watt are currently working on a new album, which will include Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith (who also appeared on Watt’s first collaboration with Ozzy, last year’s Ordinary Man).
Meanwhile, Ozzy recently received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is reassuring.

Ozzy Osbourne has released the official music video for the song 'Straight To Hell'. The track is the second single from Ozzy's forthcoming album, 'Ordinary Man', which will be released later this year via Epic Records.
On the full-on rocker 'Straight To Hell', Ozzy takes listeners to the heart of darkness — 'something is missing and you don't know why' — with GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash along for this devilish ride, delivering scorched-earth riffs.

This past November, Ozzy released 'Under The Graveyard', his first new solo music in almost 10 years, which garnered more than 2.8 million global streams in its first week. Rolling Stone noted 'doom and gloom is what makes an Ozzy song great, and it's what make this one a keeper,' and NPR wrote, 'It sounds like Ozzy and, remarkably, Ozzy's voice can still tear through your soul.'
'This album was a gift from my higher power — it is proof to me that you should never give up,' Ozzy said.
Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (GUNS N' ROSES) on bass and Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) on drums.

'It all started when Kelly [Osbourne] comes in and says, 'Do you want to work on a Post Malone song?' Ozzy explained. 'My first thing was, 'Who the fuck is Post Malone?!' I went to Andrew's [Watt] house and he said we will work really quick. After we finished that song, he said, 'Would you be interested in starting an album?' I said 'that would be fucking great, but now I am thinking I don't want to be working in a basement studio for six months! And in just a short time, we had the album done. Duff and Chad came in and we would go in and jam during the day and I would go work out the songs in the evenings. I previously had said to Sharon I should be doing an album, but in the back of my mind I was going 'I haven't got the fucking strength...' but Andrew pulled it out of me. I really hope people listen to it and enjoy it, because I put my heart and soul into this album.'
Ozzy has not released an all-new solo effort since 2010's 'Scream', having spent the last few years touring with BLACK SABBATH in support of that band's '13' LP, as well as playing a number of solo shows. More recently, Osbourne has been recuperating at home after sustaining a bad neck injury resulting in the postponement of his solo tour.
Back in October, Ozzy once again postponed his European tour, marking the second time the BLACK SABBATH singer has done so following a series of health issues.
Ozzy initially scrapped his entire 2019 schedule early last year, as he recovered from surgery to repair an injury sustained while dealing with his bout of pneumonia. The European leg of his 'No More Tours 2' trek was then rescheduled for January through March 2020, with the North American dates set to follow in May 2020.
