I sent a whole bunch of stuff to Bobby through his camp, I been really quiet about it.

I just did like 3 joints with Rowdy – he’s throwing Bobby on one of them I think. “I relayed my messages to him heavy with Rowdy.

Then he bought both of the beats ‘Hot N*gga’ and ‘Shmoney Dance,’ and the rest was history.” Were you able to keep in contact with Bobby Shmurda while he was locked up? Shy Money XL reached out to me, he said he was about to sign Bobby and Rowdy and that he needed these beats ASAP. Complex had did an article talking about that this was the response to Chicago Drill Music, a new genre – and then after that it was over. “Then like 2 weeks later the song just took off. Before it like really took off, I reached out to him and I was just like, ‘Yo people are fucking with the record, you can rock with it.’ Told him he can do whatever.”īobby responded, “Man I’m just trying to get out of these streets, and just trying to do this music stuff.” And then Kevin Durant tweeted me like, “Yo this joint is crazy.” I didn’t really understand it at first – I never listened to the record. “They just recorded the record and I found out late – people were just tagging me in this video of him throwing the hat up. We had just did “Burn,” and he said it sounded too much the same.” I actually did that record for Meek Mill, but he turned it down. I had just did this single for 50 called “ Put Your Hands Up.” Then I did this record called “ 100 Bottles” with Yayo, then started just working heavy with G-Unit, they just loved my sound. I did the record with Lloyd Bank’s, at the time I was working with G-Unit heavy. “So this is the real true story about this record. My main goal is just to make good music and pick the right artists to work with.” So let’s run it back – how did you link up with Bobby Shmurda, and how did “Hot N*gga” come about? I try not to get in my own head and blow myself up because it could be taken away just like that. I made a good amount of money from music but it doesn’t really define my future goals. I don’t really care about anything outside of the music, I don’t really care about the parties or the things that come with it.

“At the end of the day, I’m a fan of the music. I think he just came in and changed the game, and I want to always do that as well.” Photo by on IG How do you remain as humble as you are given the resume you have? I just loved his energy and how distinct his sound was. There’s a whole bunch of them, Swizz is my #1 though… That was like the era I cam up in, Swizz was the guy, I just gravitated towards him. Dre, Just Blaze, and Kanye West, these guys are my biggest influences. “My favorite producer is Swizz Beats, but I draw a lot of inspiration from The Neptunes, Mannie Fresh, Timbaland, Dr. That’s how these records came about.” What producers would you contribute as your greatest influence? Doing what I’d like to do taking elements from my favorite producers, and making my own sound as one. It’s crazy because like every record I’ve done, from ‘Burn’ to ‘I’m Above’ by Meek Mill, it was me just getting in and creating music. How does that feel, knowing that you’ve influenced a whole region of music since then?
