"This message is for my boy Big Sean, and A$AP Ferg," Johnson says in the video. "You can hear his new song in the background right now, it's called 'Berserk'. So, Big Sean hit me up and he said something that a lot of my hip-hop artist friends tell me, and they say 'yo Rock, I got this new track, it's a banger for your Iron Paradise, it's gonna get you hyped and keep you going!' And I always say, 'you sure about that?' 'Oh yeah, this is the one, Rock!' And sometimes it's a banger, and I play it and they pass the Iron Paradise test, and sometimes it doesn't."
"So, proud to say congrats to Big Sean and A$AP Ferg, and Hit-Boy who's also credited. This song is a banger, it passed the Iron Paradise test. It's midnight, I'm on my honeymoon, and I'm in here working out! So thank you, thank you very much brother, I appreciate you sending me this song, and congrats to all you boys for putting out a banger. In perpetuity, for life!"
'Berserk' is in good company: Johnson's Iron Paradise playlist consists of music giants like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Tupac Shakur and Tupac Shakur.
