Recently Murda Beatz sat down with Elliot Wilson and Brian “B. Dot” Miller over on TIDAL’s Rap Radar Podcast, where he touched on a multitude of topics surrounding his career, including how he connected with Drake once again on the Lauryn Hill-sampling “Nice For What.”
“I feel like music needed a record like [“Nice For What”]. We were chilling at Drake’s house playing [NBA 2K] and we came up with the idea to sample a female artist,” Murda began. “So I asked my manager, ‘Yo, what do you think?’ He’s like, ‘Ex-Factor.'” And Drake’s like, ‘Oh, what part?’ And we picked the part, chopped it up, I made the beat while he was playing 2K.”
Drizzy got to writing once Young Murda cooked up the bouncy “Nice For What” sonic foundation. “He’s like, ‘This shit fire.’ He sat there, wrote the shit in front of me, cut the shit in front of me. We got the shit done — beat and song, probably in like an hour and a half,” the 24-year-old revealed.
