Now he’s got three, four people rolling with him. He’d pull up to the studio literally by himself. Now he has his confidence, he’s big time now.
I told him, “I f- with your shit,” and he was kind of surprised. Went to Uzi’s hotel room, Gunna was sitting right there. I come back home and had a show with Uzi in Philly. Afterparty rooms, I’m putting everybody on. The whole time, I was listening to Gunna. One day, Wheezy came to the studio with Bari, who mixed “VLONE,” and played me Gunna’s song “Invest” from “Drip or Drown.” I’m like, “Who the hell is Gunna?” … Then I go to Australia for tour with Abel. Through Rex, I met Wheezy who produces for YSL, Freebandz, everybody. The first person I ever got close with was Rex Kudo, the producer. ever, Interscope flew me out for two days, got me a hotel. “Off White VLONE” is one of my favorite songs. I was 18, 19 when they started taking off it was a frustrating process. They already had their teams, they’re not gonna listen to no kid’s reckless beats. It was annoying because there’s no one to send beats to. What was that time of making beats like for you? “The first time I seen a Maybach, it was with Cuz.” I was in Atlanta and he gave us his Maybach to drive around. The next line, when I say “Cuz” at the end of the bar, that’s talking about him because that’s what people around here call him. I didn’t want to ruin none of the relationships I had going in Toronto. My friends were showing me that, and I’m like, “Shit, I should follow him.” But I didn’t know what’s going on. Without knowing that I produced “Back To Back,” Meek was posting pictures with my lyrics as the caption. My artistry started taking off right after that came out. In that time, it wasn’t public knowledge who I was. When I was coming up, before I met Cash or anybody, I produced “Back to Back” for Drake. You’ve said that Meek was the first to show you love. He did his part, then there was a slot open for me. Even the kid who produced it was in 88Glam’s camp it was really a whole in-house deal. He has writing credit on that song, Abel took his melody and put his own words. Originally, Derek Wise from 88Glam did the melody for the hook. How did “Price On My Head” come together? Me and Abel both work the same way, we do our own thing.
Wanna hear this? Which one do you want to jump on?” Whereas with Gunna, we’ll go in the studio, switch headphones and finish a song together. If he has something for me, he’ll be like, “Oh look, I got some stuff for you. He does his own thing he’s in his own space creatively. What’s the dynamic like in the studio with Abel?
Me and Cash both looked over and approved it, and Abel saw it! That’s how I knew he’s really paying attention. It said “Bad Habits” featuring Uzi by mistake. Even until the last minute - he noticed an error in the deluxe tracklisting that me and Cash didn’t even notice. He helped arrange the album, helped me pick songs and change lyrics. What did the Weeknd bring to “Bad Habits” as executive producer?Įverything.
