We wanted to go all out and he wanted it to feel authentic 100 percent. The only involvement that we had was me and Ali trying to convince Kendrick that the project has to be mastered. To be honest with you, these songs were literally done. How much involvement did you have in these particular tracks? I know you were heavily involved in TPAB. We wanted to go all out and he wanted it to feel 100 percent authentic. I've never seen anything like it, five years old playing cords and all this other stuff. I told him to send me the beat." That kid is going to be a genius. I sent it to Kendrick like, "Yo, did you see this?" And he was like, "Man, Swizz already sent me all the footage. I remember first seeing that clip Swizz posted on Instagram of his son making a beat and the caption said, "Making a beat for Kendrick." So I'm blown away already that he's five years old making this crazy beat. How did Swizz Beatz's 5-year-old son get on the album? We also spoke about Swizz Beatz and Alicia Key's son Egypt, the strategy behind releasing this record, and the beginning of the "Alright" video.
Sounwave, who's somewhat soft-spoken, surprisingly had a lot to say. He thinks people are reaching when it comes to a Drake diss being on "untitled 07" and thinks LeBron deserves most of the credit for the release of these records. So it's safe to say he and Kendrick have pretty good chemistry. Sounwave had his hand in most of the tracks on Lamar's critically acclaimed To Pimp A Butterfly, and was tasked with putting together untitled unmastered. Fast forward seven years later, and he has positioned himself as one of hip-hop's top beatsmiths. As one of T.D.E.'s top in-house producers, Sounwave has been persistently giving us heat since 2009's Kendrick Lamar EP.
