#JAHLIL BEATS MAKING A BEAT CRACK#

“We got about five records that we had worked on before got locked up. Can you give me your blessing?’ I was like, ‘Yeah! Rock out with it.’ Sha Money XL reached out to me as well and was like, ‘I’m about to sign this kid, let me know what’s up.’ Sha Money cut me a nice check for that record and the ‘ Shmoney Dance’ record. He was like, ‘Listen man, I’m just trying to get out of the streets. “I found on Instagram and I reached out to him.

And then my cousin sent me a tweet from Kevin Durant where he’s talking about it. I saw people tagging me in it, in the video where he’s throwing the hat up and all that. The crazy thing about it is, I found out last. He ended up doing the record and…it just blew up, man. Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel, they were big fans of me and Meek and they would do a lot of my beats.

“I put the instrumental out on one of my Crack Music instrumental tapes. That beat was so hard I felt like I needed to put it on a bigger stage. I kinda recreated it but tried to get away with it so people would think it’s the exact same thing. I drew inspiration off that and this record I did with Meek Mill and Jim Jones called ‘ Gasoline.’ I sampled the old NFL Films with the bell. I wanted that same energy but slowed down. It’s a record with Meek Mill, Big Sean and J. But I did a record with Cole that I’m trying to put it out for my album on Warner-I did a joint venture deal with Warner for my label. But at that time, around 2012, I was working with so many people that I didn’t really have the time to do. I had a deal on the table with No I.D., it was a song deal. We were finishing up the record ‘ Amen’ with Drake, and Cole came through and chilled it with us. I actually brought Cole to meet Meek that night. So initially it was Big Sean’s record, but then Meek ended up snatching it-I mean, it was too hot in the streets. Meek was down the street working at the Boom Boom Room in Burbank.

“It was actually Big Sean’s record first ’cause at the time, I was working with Big Sean, No I.D. He would call me and be like, ‘Yo, when I get out, we gon’ get in the studio and work heavy.’ When he got out, he kept his promise. “ went to jail for about six to eight months. Then it was a record called ‘ Way Back.’ They all made the tape. The other was this record called ‘ So Fly,’ that was my first song ever on the radio, around 2008, 2009. I reached out to him on MySpace and was like, ‘Yo, the tape is crazy.’ He messaged me back like, ‘Yo, send me some beats.’ So I sent him three beats: one was called ‘ Hottest In the City,’ and that ended up being the name of his next mixtape, Flamers 2: Hottest In the City.

Meek had done a mixtape called Flamers 1 and he was the hottest thing in the streets in Philly. Meek was actually working with my cousin, he’s a producer. , he was like, ‘Don’t let this be the last toast.’ I’m actually trying to get him on my album I got a record with French Montana, Dave East, Nas and I’m trying to get Jay on it. Jay ended up reaching out and that song got me a deal at Roc Nation. The record was killing the clubs and killing the streets. Meek had just signed with Maybach Music and I was just seeing how it would all unfold. After it dropped, I was in a bidding war with like five labels.
