Collaborations are powerful because they bring together powerful artists together to create bangers. DJ Lag has worked with several artists on many hits. His notable collaboration is definitely working with Beyoncé on her hit song My Power.

Speaking about how some of his collaborations have come by, the star said:

"I first start with beats. As soon as I finish the beat, I will already know who’s the right artist to jump on. I would mumble the flow of that artist while making the beat then I’d send the beat over to them. Dream collaborations are way too many, such as Wizkid, A$AP Rocky, DJ Snake. All sorts of directions!"
