One day i get a email from #FRANKDUKES now he goes by #WAYOFGING @wayofging. Before Frank Duke produced for #Drake, #PostMalone, #TravisScott, #NickiMinaj he actually reached out to me via twitter in 2011/ 2012 or so. He hit me up via DM and asked me if id be willing to write a song over one of his beats. I said yea cuz that was the hustle when i first started. Long story medium i wrote the song sent it back and he was impressed. The next day he said lets do a 10 song album ill give you 10 x the amount of that 1 song ($500) so $5000 to record a 10 song album with him. at this point i had never did a show yet lol. but i was getting posted on #fakeshoredrive #spin #complexmagazine and people were digging this #soultrap music i create.
Months go by and frank would send me beats to write to as we compiled our album. In the midst of all this back and forth or as we wrapped our album up. I really liked working with Frank. Frank sent me this beat he made, that he intended for a project he was working on with #ghostfacekillah . You mean GhostFace form #wuTang ?? Turns out Frank wanted a hook from me to pitch to #GFK and help me out too. He wanted me to make a hook / chorus that ghost would like. I did that , but I also threw a verse in there just because i liked the beat so much. i send it back to frank and i dont hear anything for months.
Months later frank sends me paperwork to sign for splits and publishing etc. and i signed them and returned them. Then maybe a month after that they drop the GhostFace album #soursoul and im on this song called #STREETKNOWLEDGE FT #BADBADNOTGOOD and they used this song as the single. To my surprise they didnt use my #hook / #chorus at all. Instead they kept my verse that they didnt even ask for or expect and with that i made history. I did a song with Ghostface.
This was one of my greatest moments in my career and helped instill the fact that i was and am till this day, "ONE OF THE GREATS" . For that i am forever greatful..
Til this day i havent seen a single dime from that song. Frank Dukes the world class producer is singing and touring rock n roll these days. i liked what i heard to be honest!! One day i hit frank to tell him what was going on with me and my impending jail sentence via #instagram and he told me call him in about a week he was in the middle of some things. I guess he thought i was calling about that money ive never gotten.. Oh WELL I will say that i wouldve jumped on a song with ghost face killah for free, and to this day i will again. FOR FREE!! AND ANY OTHER LEGENDARY ARTIST...
Surprisingly ive never met Ghost Face either.. We've never had a conversation. I guess he liked the verse tho. hahaha. i tried reaching out to Ghost just to say waddup and introduce myself but nothing. Anyhoot that was the story of me and ghostface..
