Kemosabe / RCA Record’s new artist, 15-year-old Becky G, has
just released “Problem (The Monster Remix)” feat. will.i.am, a special remix created
especially for Sony Pictures Animation’s new animated family comedy Hotel
Transylvania, which will be released in theaters nationwide on September 28th.
The music video for “Problem (The Monster Remix)” feat. will.i.am features footage
from the movie and premieres on VEVO and One Sony properties today. Watch it

track is currently available at all digital music providers.
Commenting on the announcement, Lia Vollack, President of
Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures, said, “We’d heard a lot about Becky from Dr.
Luke, and we thought the song would be a great way to end the movie, over the
end credits. Fortunately, Becky and Luke agreed – they saw the movie,
loved it, and did a special remix of the song incorporating the monster theme
especially for the movie.”
15-year-old Becky G signed to Kemosabe, the Sony Music
Entertainment record label founded by veteran hitmaker Dr. Luke, and RCA
Records last year. Luke signed Becky after viewing a YouTube clip of her
swaggering her way through an original rap set to “Otis” from Jay-Z and Kanye
West’s album, Watch The Throne. The song opens with Becky
declaring: “If everybody’s getting one shot, I ain’t missing.” Born and raised
in the Inglewood section of Los Angeles Becky’s family hails from Mexico and
she is bilingual. Becky has been working with Jordan Omley and Mike Mani of The
Jam, Cirkut, Benny Blanco, will.i.am,
Billboard and Ammo, as well as a slew of other producers, on her debut album.
She is currently featured on Cody Simpson’s single
“Wish U Were Here,” which went to #1 on Radio Disney, and will share the stage
with him at The Staples Center in October, 2012 when he performs with Justin
Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen.
