According to DJ Premier’s blog, this beat was submitted to Kanye West for his last album but he never picked it. Bun B also passed up on this beat, and another beat submitted to Yeezy ended up on Bumpy Knuckles The Kolexion album. Say what?
Someone get Joell Ortiz & Novel on this track asap.
Other notables, Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole.
