Havoc about one of the songs
In a departure from his previous albums, the bulk of Eminem's forthcoming Recovery (due June 22) is being made by other producers. Just Blaze was announced as a major contributor last year, and in recent weeks Jim Jonsin (Beyoncé, Lil Wayne), Boi-1da (Drake), DJ Khalil (Clipse, Drake) were confirmed. Dr. Dre, of course, will handle some production duties as well.
On Thursday, Emimen revealed one more name, telling Shade 45 morning show host Angela Yee that Mobb Deep's Havoc also made the cut. The announcement was news to Hav, who was still waiting on confirmation.
"I honestly didn't think I was gonna make the project, but when I heard I did, I was definitely happy about it," Havoc told MTV News.
Eminem has been a longtime fan of Mobb Deep, and Hav has been trying to land a beat on a project with the Detroit lyricist for just as long. He told MTV News that he provided Slim Shady with a dark number featuring an interesting sample loop, which he wouldn't reveal just yet.
"When it came to him, it's like, I really didn't want to give him a track that he was already kind of familiar with rhyming to," Havoc said. "I just wanted to do me and doing me consists of doing all kinds of different styles than what they associate me with, which is dark-sounding. The track that I did for him, it's dark and at the same time it can go across the board as far as the content in the sample and what it's saying. I try to think outside the box but not go too far with it. I think I met myself somewhere in the middle, and I hit him with a track and it worked."
Since releasing last year's The Hidden Files, the New York producer is in between projects at the moment as he awaits the released of incarcerated Mobb Deep partner Prodigy.
Boi-1da about the production of Not Afraid
"That beat was done last summer in my basement in the late afternoon. Just me and my dude Matt having fun, playing around with some instruments, cracking jokes. He was playing the strings and the choir. I added the percussion and the arrangement. I sent it to one of [Maino’s] A&Rs and they played it for him. At first, Maino liked it. He actually did a song on it last year. And after that, I never heard anything back from them. That was just a situation where I’ll make a beat and an artist will say they like the beat. They’ll say, “We got to do something with it.” But they don’t end up using it. So you don’t really wait on anybody. If anybody else wants to use it, they’ll want to use it. But on the Internet and a lot of people are saying that the beat was sold twice and it was shady or whatever. Like I said, beats don’t get sold twice. It’s just something that happens in the industry all the time but doesn’t get out there a lot. You know like, Cam’Ron had the “H To The Izzo” beat first but then Jay-Z came and did his song on it. That’s just how the game goes.
"So the beat was floating around but the beat wasn’t purchased or anything. Then [Eminem] heard the beat and got on it immediately. He ended up buying the beat, putting everything down, and putting it on his album. The beat sounds like he’ll do something serious on it. I figured he’d make a deep song, or an emotional song on it. He put the piano in there. He added that and the church choir singing along with him. So three months ago, we were at dinner and my manager, Fake Work, got a text from Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, that said, 'Eminem just bodied this beat!'"
