What did Hi-Tek say about "Get Ta Steppin'"?
Genius Answer

“Get ta Steppin” was my favorite way to record, we did it old school style and we were both on the same mic, that’s why it sounds so intimate. That rarely gets done anymore. It was done in a cheapo studio in midtown at 3:30 in the morning [laughs]. It was beautifully and magically symmetrical. It just came together in an instant. I did it one take with him running through it, and I hadn’t even heard the song really. He just played me a snippet of it, because he’s very spontaneous which I love, and it’s just a feel.

And “Get ta Steppin” with the intimacy of it I love that because it made me feel like it was the ’70s and we were really doing a real duet. And Mos was so happy with it within five minutes of us doing the duet itself, he went to sleep and while he was sleeping I added my harmonies with the engineer and Hi-Tek was there too.
