Drake and Alicia Keys

Posted on December 8, 2009

What do you get when you mix hot established talent and a upand coming head-liner? ….. You get an amazing track and that its what Alica and Drake have been in the studio working on.

“Alicia Keys, they reached out and she said she really wanted me to do something on her project but she wanted me to do me, not do an Alicia Keys record,” Drake explained in an interview. “And man, she gave me one of the best studio experiences in my life, like when I got there, instead of being like ‘All right, here’s the beat, get to work,’ [she said] play me your favorite songs and let’s battle. Let’s battle. You play me your favorite record, we’ll go one-for-one. You play me a record and I’ll play you a record. And everybody was in the studio and — it was turning into this heated party, we were all just loving music, you know? It almost like transitioned from great music to making a song, no one even noticed it but she started playing keys and I just started writing melodies and we came up with a song that I think could really be a big record for her song. I wrote most of the record and she produced it…It was probably one of the best moments of my career.”
