Every time the GRAMMYs come around, it still hits me like, вЂyeah, IвЂ™ve won a GRAMMY before.вЂ™ Winning that GRAMMY just solidified me making the right choices in life pursuing music and producing tracks for these artists.вЂќ Dr. I sent it to Dart and once he told me that Eminem wanted it, I was like, вЂwow, thatвЂ™s whatвЂ™s up.вЂ™ I was actually thinking about Slaughterhouse В вЂ™cause they were on fire around that time. It still took some time to build, but once I did it, it was cool. My process is different every time, but with that particular sample, I still had my work cut out for me. вЂњEven when you flip a sample, the process could be long or it could be short. After that, I had a few other big placements that year.вЂќ It allowed me to keep working with different artists. That was a good call вЂ™cause my version was like four-eight bars and then the drums came in. вЂњ, Ross had changed it for Wale to do some spoken word in the beginning. And then Drake ended up getting on it anyway, so everything worked out. So when I sent it, I was surprised Ross liked it. I was also working on beats for Maybach Music at the time so I threw that beat in the batch, not thinking that they were gonna use it. At the time I was working on beats to send his way, but I didnвЂ™t really have any outlets to Drake.

It was everywhere when it came out, my phone was going off crazy. 'Once Drake hopped on it, I knew it was gonna be a monster record, and sure enough it was. He told me like, вЂyo, this record is gonna be big.вЂ™

That was pretty much through email and communicating back-and-forth with. That beat and the вЂ AmsterdamвЂ™ beat were in the same folder. happened to be one of the beats that just stuck. I got cool with him so I submitted beats to him. вЂњI built a relationship with the A&R for Maybach Music, his name is Spiff TV. Since then, everythingвЂ™s taken off.вЂќ Rick Ross - вЂњDiced PineapplesвЂќ ft. That was one of my main goals to get a big record, and that song solidified me making the right moves towards my career. I felt like I had accomplished something. вЂњI happened to be at my momвЂ™s house so I told her, вЂmom, come here, listen! I did the beat to this song.вЂ™ And she was hyped too. Then I heard over the phone and was like, вЂwow, this jointвЂ™s gonna be crazy.вЂ™ Next thing you know Funk Flex was dropping bombs on it on Hot 97. The next time I heard it 50 Cent was on it, he had a hook. вЂњFast forward a few months, told me, вЂyo, Banks used it, heвЂ™s thinking about getting Fab on it.вЂ™ I was like, вЂcool, thatвЂ™s whatвЂ™s up!вЂ™ A few weeks later, thatвЂ™s when I got a call like, вЂyo, this recordвЂ™s gonna change your life.В We just got Swizz Beatz and Kanye West on it!вЂ™ So I was like, вЂoh wow!вЂ™ Originally I heard the record and it was just Lloyd Banks and Fab. ItвЂ™s funny you ask that вЂ™cause I was on IG Live the other day and one of my friends sent it to me and was like, вЂremember this?вЂ™ Once I heard it, I was like, вЂoh shit!вЂ™ and turned it off вЂ™cause I donвЂ™t want nobody to hear it.
