“We signed Jay Rock some years ago That’s how I met Kendrick because I took them both on tour with me. Like a year or two ago. Something [like that]…Kendrick came as his hype man…When we got him he [Jay Rock] was on Warner Brothers and they had him sitting for years. So, we got him up out of that deal…So, I met Kendrick on that first tour I put him on. And he gave me theSection.80 CD. And I listened to it, I said, ‘We gotta get you on something.’ So, my All 6’s And 7’s album, which was probably another year and something ago, he was on there and nobody knew who he was. We did a song called ‘I Love Music.’ And then after that he blew up. He met Dre on my tour. When we did the House of Blues.” (Juan Epstein Show)
