The beat sat in my library for a while until I sent it to my bro OZ and he added a different swing to it with changing the snare and the swing of the kicks but keeping the original vibe. Also, I had the beat with a bit more swing initially and it sounded more hip-hop. I feel we put more into the hi-hats than any of the other drums. “Next came the hi-hats and percussion, and drums shortly after. This beat came about pretty fast once I started making it with that direction." But this one day, I put the chops together how we hear it now and was instantly inspired to play keys around it. And I heard what I wanted one day because it took me a while to conquer this sample. Initially, I had a big puzzle of chops and I just pieced this puzzle of sound together. I manually chop all of my samples on this playlist, so this was one of those. Starting from when Marvin starts to talk. “I chopped up the sample into a bunch of different chops. As soon as I heard the intro I was in love-period." I was like, ‘what is that?!’ It was my favorite song for a long time, I found the sample and I fell in love with the song. What put me onto it was essentially Kanye, back when “Spaceships” came out. I’m talking about the actual live version I sampled. “That was another one of my favorite songs. Sample: Marvin Gaye “Distant Lover (Live)” I ain’t got one dime off that record! But we got exactly what we wanted: the respect.” Travis Scott - “Backyard” (2014) I was honored, I’m still honored, just off that record. It made me realize how crazy and how big of an artist Drake is, just from how people would react to me for being a part of that record. “It changed my life and my career by opening a lot of doors for me. Our Twitter was going so crazy we had to pull over before we got home, just to reply to everything." It went from our worst situation to the best possible. As soon as we make it home to Nashville, ‘Draft Day’ just drops. Essentially we got pulled over by the police. “The night that it came out, me and Ducko-I don’t even know if I should say this-we were on our way from Atlanta to Nashville, we were smoking, of course. Everything stopped in the studio that night, man." I hear the beat come on and I hear Drake say some shit and I’m like, ‘oh shit, wait a minute?’ And then he said, ‘draft day, Johnny Manziel.’ I said, ‘oh shit!’ It was just a little piece, but to hear Drake on something that we created, it was unreal. “Bruh, me and Ducko were in the studio, late night, four o’clock in the morning, and I get a text from 1da and it has an audio clip in it.
