How did “The Exorcist” with DJ Premier come about?
I got up with Primo’s manager after I sent him my demo. I made sure I did a 16 over a Primo beat. They were feeling it. Everything went through. He sent me a beat, I was feeling it hard, everybody in my camp was bugging out over it. I was thinking on it for about a day. I was really going to come out on it like an introduction-type track, but then I thought it would be best to come out on a topic over a Primo beat. I wanted to get deep, but not too deep. I didn’t want “The Exorcist” to be too abstract or too commercial. How was it recording with Primo? It was a great honor. I was up in the former D&D Studio. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back in there for some other tracks on the album. Were you nervous? I wasn’t too nervous because I had met him before. We had already broken the ice. We spoke about what to do on the joint. He laid it down on me to keep it hot and not to get too crazy on it. He didn’t want me to go all out flow-wise. I was a little nervous at first when I went up there
