Talib about the backgrounds of this collaboration:

I have a house in L.A., and I pay attention to the music. I’ve been listening to Kendrick Lamar for a long time. Kendrick came over to my house actually a long time ago. He had a record with U-N-I, and he came over to the crib to do a radio show with my wife, she had a radio show. I heard him rhyme back then, and I was like, ‘Yo, he’s incredible.’ And I kept in touch with him, and his whole crew, the Black Hippy crew. So that record that I have with Kendrick is an old record. I just put it out recently.
