“So, I was like, ‘Chad, hold up fam,” Sledge said. “Let’s rock it like that because when Andre’s doing acapella and then when the beat drops, that’s when your verse drops. And then you, your verse is gonna lift the record up because now the beat is rocking and your verse is kicking. And he’s like ‘Alright, Jeff. I’m gonna give it a shot. If it fucks up, it’s on you.”
