To have him and Royce on my album, that s**t feel amazing
Cause they giants in my eyes
Residing where I aim to be
Remember buying their CD
And now they give me game for free
A major key
Cause once upon a time they were the same as me
Pray I’m half as successful as them, just gotta wait and see
Paul, Mike and all of the Shady fam
The crazy fans
You all saw something in me even when nobody gave a damn

“Just being able to create and get mentorship from Eminem… that’s one of my favorite artists of all time. So going into it I’m just excited about having Eminem as a big brother. That pretty much sold and sealed the deal for me. Sometimes it can be a lot of pressure when you sign to a major label. It was important to me to still be able to feed my diehard fans and my core audience but still show some sort of growth. The approach was pretty much the same, I just had those pressures in the back of my mind.” told Conway to Zane Lowe in a recent interview on Beats 1.
