According to him:
IT KIND OF CAME ABOUT AS A TRAINING SESSION ‘CUZ THERE’S A NEW PRODUCER THAT I JUST SIGNED AND HAVE BEEN MENTORING FOR A BIT. HIS NAME IS MICHAEL. WE WERE IN THE STUDIO AND I WAS TRYING TO PUT HIM ON ABLETON LIVE, ‘COZ I USE ABLETON LIVE TO PRODUCE SONGS. HE STARTED MESSING WITH THE GUITAR LOOP FOR “FINESSE,” AND I THOUGHT, “OH. THAT SOUNDS GOOD.” I LEFT HIM IN THE STUDIO AND HE KEPT MAKING THE BEAT. THEN, I CAME BACK AND HE ALREADY HAD THE BEAT DONE. I WAS LIKE, “THIS IS DOPE.” SO I SAT DOWN WITH HIM AND STARTED PLAYING WITH SOME MELODIES IN MY HEAD AND THE MELODY [STARTS HUMMING] JUST CAME TO MY HEAD, AND I DROPPED THAT AS THE MELODY. THEN, I STARTED PUTTING IN LYRICS AND YEAH, THAT’S HOW IT STARTED.
Not a lot of detail is given to how BNXN would later come on the song. But this in itself is a good Origin Story.
Big Shout out to Michael!
