They just finished getting everything done. But as far as getting the final mix of it, it was yesterday, the day before they released it. was like, “This is a go regardless.” He said it’s one of his favorites. When did you receive the final word that “Sandra’s Rose” was going to be on the album? Even if you turn it in on June 27, we will still be recording and mixing songs all the way up to the 29th.” And that’s what they did. And they were still mixing and still recording. But as far as updating it and putting the scratches and putting the finishing touches on it, that was just four days ago. It may have been the last day or two of May. So you made “Sandra’s Rose” in late May or early June? The rick ross vocal's on it, but 40 never sent me a vocal of drake on it. I’ll follow up and see if we can let that out later on, next week or something like that, just for DJs to rock out to. I kept it really subtle-I didn’t go crazy on it. I took a Nicki Minaj line and a Lil Wayne line to keep it in house, within their Young Money family. But I did do a version with scratches, and I look forward to letting that out just for DJs later if they approve it. Drake really wanted to leave that breakdown with the “Baby, baby, baby” voice naked, so I let it breathe. I did scratches to it as well, even though it’s not on the album version. Drake, after all, isn’t the bitter cynic about love that Kanye is (yet), and the production nails that fact. I just gave it to him two hours ago at 4 in the morning.” And boom, as soon as I hit play, I heard that first “Niggas see the crib and ask who did I steal from.” I was like, "Whoa." It wasn’t a whole verse, just a snippet. Find Your Love, which breathes much easier, is also much warmer than anything off of 808s, and, dare I say it, organic. Before I hit play, I’m already like, “Don’t tell me he already got verses down. I said, “Thank you” and then my iPhone did an alert and I see it’s from 40. I just gave it to him two hours ago."Īs soon as I wake up, I always say “Thank you.” It’s a thing I do, spiritually. I'm like, "Don't tell me he already got verses. But I said, "You know what? I’m gonna catch 40 and just let him know if there’s a slot, I’m here." So I did it. He’s like, "You should see if you can get a slot on there."įrom JAY-Z to Nas to Kanye to whoever, I’m just not the type to say, "Hey, let me get on your album." If they want me, they’re going to reach out and say, "I need a joint from you." So I told my manager I don’t do that. We called Preem to find out how it all went down.įor at least the last 10 years, me and Drake always say, “We gotta do something, we gotta do something.” This time, my manager Ian Schwartzman brought it up to me that he was working on the Scorpion album. “Sandra’s Rose,” produced by Premier (with Maneesh Bidaye), is a standout track on Drizzy’s new album Scorpion. Even a short conversation with Preem will find him mentioning an upcoming single with Casanova and two different, secret full-length projects on the way (“Once I’m done, you will find out what they are,” he laughed when we spoke on the phone.) But with everything he’s accomplished, the legendary producer has not teamed up with Drake-until now. DJ Premier has worked with almost every great rapper in the game since beginning his career with Gang Starr in the late 1980s.
