The Shadow League sat down with tha Bizness, Sounwave, T-Minus, and more to hear the producer’s perspective on the making of Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City. Check out the excerpt below and read the full thing here.

“Poetic Justice” featuring Drake (produced by Scoop Deville)

Scoop Deville: I got together with Kendrick in the beginning of the year when he was in the studio recording a bunch of records with [Dr.] Dre and the Aftermath camp. Stat Quo brought some records that I did, Dre was really feeling “The Recipe” and a few other joints I did so he wanted me to be a part of the project. I did “Poetic Justice” about a year ago and I was holding on to it. I sent it over to Kendrick and he was feeling it from the jump. When I first found out that Drake was going to be on it, it was a shock because it meant that they were going to do something really big for the record. It is definitely something for the ladies, a radio friendly record and very different from the other records on the album.
