Speaking about the collaboration, the President of Blue Note Records, Don Was, said:

Blue Note and G-SHOCK have a history of refinement and shifting culture. We felt G-SHOCK was the right partner to help us celebrate our 80th anniversary while we usher in a new era at the label. It’s about bringing our audiences together and giving them something they can love, whether they’re a Jazz aficionado or a hip-hop lover.
