Travis Scott’s double platinum hit “Antidote” was never supposed to be on his long awaited debut album, Rodeo. “This is for the real fans; the real ragers! This is some vibes for the summer,” he posted to Soundcloud under the track’s description. Thanks to a hypnotizing chorus and tempestuous production by Toronto-based producers Eestbound and WondaGurl, “Antidote” took on a life of its own and was eventually listed as the ninth track on Scott’s album.

The track samples “All I Need” by Lee Fields & The Expressions off of 2014’s Emma Jean. Eestbound and WondaGurl were sitting at The Keg Steakhouse in downtown Toronto when the song crept over the restaurant speakers. The two rising producers—WondaGurl has previously worked with Drake, Jay Z, Travis, and more—both set out to sample different parts of the track but it was Eestbound’s loop and distortion of the opening guitar riffs that ended up fueling Scott’s massive hit.

“It just very simple which left a lot of room for the artist to record on it and have a lot of ad libs on it,” he tells Genius. “That’s why Travis probably liked it because he could do a whole bunch of ‘It’s lit!’ and ‘Straight up!’ ‘La Flame.’”

Genius went up to Toronto to Eestbound’s home studio to get an inside look at how the young producer came up with the beat on the Rodeo track for the latest episode of Genius' video series Deconstructed.
