It would feel like a smack in the face to sign with any label outside of Dre's. He took a risk on me, and that means everything.

I got invited to work on Dre's 'Compton' project.

I don't think there's anybody that has such a keen sense of vocal production and attention to detail as Dre.

A lot of people who work with Dre, you're lucky if anything sees the light of day.

Drumming is a real part of my live show, and I like to do it because so many people aren't expecting me to go and do it.

I tell people a lot of times, if you want to be a part of something, you never know, you kind of just have to be around. A lot of people don't really have the patience for it, and they don't stick around. Dre and I are still working together, and we have plenty of music for the future.
