Deacon: I loved having people from my family sing on a track.
Kno: This beat was specifically made for Jay-Z; parts of the hook intact, after our pedagogue and good friend Kevin Mitchell (used to manage Nappy Roots and now manages Bobby Creekwater) told us Jay needed tracks. He didn’t use it obviously, and then it made it into Nas’ A&R’s hands. He liked it, but it sat for a long while. Lil’ Scrappy wanted to buy it around the same timeframe we produced "Sometimes" for him. That didn’t pan out either, so we ended up keeping it.
