Metro has the ear for that. That’s Metro’s gift. Metro’s gift is to make a hit and put an album together as a body of work. We knew from the time he made “Stick Talk.” When Future first made it, I wasn’t even with him. I was in a separate studio making beats by myself, and he called me. That’s when I always know he made something crazy. When he made “Fuck Up Some Commas,” he called me and said, “I just made something so crazy.” He's usually real hard on himself. He'll make something, and we'll think it's a hit, and he'll just be like, “It's okay." So when he calls to say, “I just made one of them ones,” it’s always one of them ones.

My GOAT
What’s your favorite memory from working on DS2?
“Rotation.” Me and Metro made the beat directly in front of Future. Then he really rapped everything that was going on in the room. He really bought all the sodas at the gas station. He rapped everything that was going on. It was just funny. I'm like, "This man's crazy. We really just made this beat 10 minutes ago, and he's really rapping everything he sees in the room.”
Is there a story you remember from working on “Blow A Bag?”
I can’t speak on that. “Blow A Bag” was a great experience but that was a personal moment for us in the studio. Me and Metro always just went crazy on the beats. Metro, he’ll break it down to a whole other level, but I can’t tell that story.
hmmm
You produced several singles on High Off Life. What was your favorite memory from working on that album?
When he made “Hard To Choose You,” he skipped over the beat a couple times. I had to go back in the studio and tell him, “Bro, pull this beat up, please. Just do this beat for me.” He did it, and when he did the hook, he said the s*** was so hard. He's like, “Man I want to go to the club." I never go to the club with him. I just be on straight studio time. But I went and put on all my jewelry. When I pulled back up, he's like, “Damn this is how we going out?” Then we came back after the club, he finished it, and that ended up being one of the ones. He’s one of those people where he watches the room. So whatever's going on in the room, that's where he’s going to get his energy. That’s how he’s going to get his vibe to make a hit.
this is so hard lmao
