Scott previously recalled how the collaboration came together during an interview with Billboard at the time. “I met him at the MTV Video Music Awards one year and he came up to me and was just like, ‘Yo, man, I f*ck with your music. It’s super dope and inspirational.’ I was like, whoa, this is the best rapper in the globe – he f*cks with my music!” he said in 2016. “That’s one of the things that made me want to keep working on my music and try to keep it going ’cause I’m not the most rappity rap ass n***a. That’s not me but I really love Kendrick’s music.”
