Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel, they were big fans of me and Meek and they would do a lot of my beats.
JAHLIL BEATS INSTRUMENTAL CRACK
“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.
