"Sweat" is a song by American rapper Bow Wow featuring American rapper Lil Wayne, released on October 14, 2011. Produced by Maejor and Detail, it was planned to be a promotional single from Bow Wow's then-titled album Underrated, but remained a single when the album was canceled.
Earmilk gave a favorable review of the song, writing "they make for a dope sound. Lil Wayne always brings a fire beat and this is no different as he and Bow Wow go off and create a smooth banger."[1]
A behind-the-scenes clip shot by Derick G. and images of the video shoot were released in November 2011,[2] [3] before the official music video was released on January 31, 2012.[4] It shows Bow Wow wearing a spiked leather face mask, accompanied by leather and chain-clad models, and rides in a Bugatti. Lil Wayne is seen wearing a T-shirt reading "Weirdo", shorts and Vans, and holds a skateboard. Rapper Birdman makes a cameo, appearing alongside the artists. In the clip, Bow Wow's female co-star takes a guitar and smashes his plaques. Bow Wow explained the plaques resemble his old albums and their destruction represents a "new beginning" since he signed to Young Money Entertainment.
