The original track features versus from Scott's "boss" T.I. as well as a fire verse from 2 Chainz. Scott rose to fame last year with a series of tracks and was listed as part of the XXL magazine's "Fresman class of 2013." The track features heavy beats, and high profile rappers, but the best line of the entire song goes to Scott in the first first, "We poppin' champagne, damn you apple cider."

Rook Milo's remix of "Upper Echelon" builds off of the original beat, adding drops and warped tones to the melody, creating a new dimension to the song. Milo's take on the track flips the focus to the to the beat, wrapping the drops around the vocals. Milo allows the track to remain true to its hip hop roots, while adding an electronic dimension that makes the song flow and groove.
Milo has a killer ability to pull samples from tracks, building a beat around them and his talent has not gone unnoticed, with nods to his tracks by major producers including Ryan Hemsworth & Ta-ku. Hemsworth featured his unreleased track, "Mondo Caine" in a mix for Australian Triple J Radio, which received high praises. Ta-ku aslo featured his track, "Cobalt Polo" in a Hypetrak mix, "Drive Slow, Homie Pt II."
