    Ron kind of threw Omen under the bus

    What song would you say ended up the most different than when initially created?

    'BMO.' It was done by Omen. Originally, it was just the drums and the sample. This is a good story. Ari recorded 'BMO' and we had that song for a minute. It was just sitting in the vault. Ari's manager Justin [LaMotte] heard the song randomly because it wasn't going to be on the album. Justin heard it and hit up Omen. While I'm working on Omen's album, Omen is like, 'You should come play on this track.' When people ask me to go play on a track, I don't just play piano on a track. I'll go through the track. I'll go engineer it. I'll go mix it. I'll beef up the sound. I might add s---, I might not.

    But, when I got done with that song -- as far as adding everything I added, mixing a little bit on it, adding a bass line, changing the drums up a little bit. By the time we got done with that song, that song was everything you hear today. That song took a leap. It went from not being on the album to being a smash.

    Why don't Omen get any credit... if he did the skeleton of the song? Might be the best one on the album.

    Lol the f--- is Ron talking about? The beat is still basically the drums and the sample. s--- is a loop, it's the same throughout the whole song, never changes or switches up. Drums ain't nothing complex either. He just added a few notes on that baseline in the middle, maybe picked that moog sound for it. These dudes really treating Omen like he's a beta male or something. s--- is lowkey sad b

    What's the most impressive thing you've seen in the studio?

    A comedian came in the studio once. He asked a musician what was the first song he ever learned and the last song he ever learned. So, the comedian made the musician play, on the spot, the first song he ever learned and made him merge it with the last song he ever learned. When the musician was done playing, the comedian went and literally told the musician about his whole life based on what he was playing, and the comedian was spot on.

    Who was the comedian and the artist?

    The comedian was Dave Chappelle and the artist was me (laughs).

    Wow. That's crazy. See, you're in some rooms where stars can pop up whenever. What was the most star-studded session you've ever been a part of?

    That night it was Cole, Cozz, Dave Chappelle, Flying Lotus and Thundercat in the studio (laughs). I was sitting around like, 'd---, there's some heavy hitters in here.'

    What is the status of Revenge of the Dreamers 3?

    They're finishing it up right now. The status where it's at in terms of being completed? I don't know. I can say there have been sessions where songs have been put together and there have been meetings about tracklisting. But, I don't want to say too much because it's not my place to say. I'll say this, that album is going to change a whole lot of things for a whole lot of people. Every track on that b---- is hard. On some tracks you're going to be like, 'Oh my god, who is this person?' Those sessions were legendary and changed my life for sure.
