Fred Durst and Lauren Sanderson are making serious noise with their explosive new remix of “COME SAY SUM,” a rap-rock fueled collaboration that’s quickly gaining traction across streaming platforms and social media.
Originally released by Sanderson earlier this year, “COME SAY SUM” already leaned heavily into nü-metal energy inspired by classic Limp Bizkit chaos. The updated remix pushes that attitude even further, bringing Durst directly into the mix with an aggressive guest verse and the kind of confrontational swagger that helped define late ‘90s rap-rock.
The collaboration reportedly came together after the pair connected through Instagram, eventually turning Sanderson’s self-described “Lez Bizkit” vision into a full-fledged crossover moment. Since its release, the remix has pulled in roughly 250,000 daily streams across DSPs while racking up millions of views across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
The track has already earned praise from outlets including Vice, Billboard, Kerrang!, Revolver, and Rock Sound, with many highlighting the song’s unapologetic attitude and throwback nü-metal aggression.
The music video fully embraces the song’s unhinged energy, featuring Sanderson and Durst working inside a chaotic diner that quickly spirals into pure mayhem. The visual matches the song’s loud, rebellious spirit and continues the growing momentum around Sanderson’s forthcoming album LAUREN, due out May 29.
Sanderson has described the upcoming project as a mix of nü-metal textures, bratty pop hooks, and sharp lyrical wordplay, positioning herself firmly within the current resurgence of heavy rap-rock and alternative crossover sounds.
The remix also marks Durst’s second major guest appearance of the spring following his recent collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly on “Fix Ur Face,” further proving the continued influence of nü-metal aesthetics in modern alternative music.
Fans can also catch Sanderson opening for Limp Bizkit at two Nashville shows later this year.
