“I didn't think, ‘I’m gonna put Queen Key on the record to hold it down for the women,’ but I did want to make it a point to have it be part of the narrative,” he explains. “Queen Key is a black woman rapper, but she’s a human being first. I have the same entitlement to her that I’d have to anybody. She’s just talented, we share a place of origin, and it’d be negligent of me to not make the rawest music just because she’s a girl. I thought, ‘Who could I put on this?’ and it was Queen Key, and maybe Z Money or Valee, but that’s all I heard. She and Ravyn (Lenae) are both doing very well, but I did feel like if I was going to collaborate, I was going to do it with the most talented — who just happen to be women.”
