Crazy to see “Receipts” on this playlist. I had this idea/music kicking around a few years back. It was originally just a little intro to an ep I was spitballing with someone. I didn’t really think anyone would add to it, it was an interlude type thing.
When
@curlycastro @premrock and I were working on Nobody Planning To Leave, Prem asked if I had anything he could use for a solo record. I sent him a demo of this track and the idea just simmered. We probably didn’t even come back to it for at least a year or more. It originally didn’t come back around to a second verse after the middle, but Prem knew there was something there and put in the call to get woods on the track.
@premrock absolutely nails this song and a woods closer never fails. This is a special song.
I spent an unreasonable amount of time figuring out how to get from the middle back to the verse format. It’s probably not noteworthy to most, but I really obsessed on making that turnaround feel natural so that woods popped in just right.
After it was done, I knew it was a cool song. I was really excited about it, but wondered what people might think. It’s a somewhat unconventional format for a rap song, but Prem and woods made it something special. Shoutout to Prem for seeing the vision and also knowing to push it further.
Shortly before
@premrock album “Did You Enjoy Your Time Here” was released, I was on a little record shopping trip with my friends (
@emynd and
@scottmatelic ). Scott was in the car with me and I played “Receipts” off of my Google drive and he kept saying how good it was. It kinda surprised me. You’re always chasing something and this one feels like actually brushing up against that something. Honored to have played a part in this.
Shoutout to
@premrock and woods. Did You Enjoy Your Time Here is available now through
@backwoodzstudioz The entire album is great.
This is one of those things I can send to my kids and possibly look cool.
