[New York City, New York]
Leaning his head up against the window, Sean was able to get a little bit of sleep on the drive over to the next stop. Since flying in, Sean had gone non-stop with meeting with producers and his label to discuss the ideas for his next project. Feeling secure that this album could be his best, Sean was more eager than anything to show his growth as a rapper. Listening to Zeno and DJ Mo Beatz joking about the latest adventure in Mo’s life, Sean just listened on as he took these moments to sleep. Feeling the car come to its stop, Sean slowly opened his eyes and got his stuff together before getting out of the car. Following Zeno as they made their way in to Wane’s studio, Sean came in to see Kanye already at the sound board, working on some stuff that he was apparently vibing to.
“Hey what’s up” Sean greeted Wane and Kanye before he stopped to listen to what Kanye was cooking up “What’s got you out in Nashville?” he asked as he looked over at Kanye
“Doing some beats with Wane” Kanye replied “You finally showing up to shit now?” he asked
“Yeah, trying to get back on the hustle. Things got a little bit dark” Sean told him as he took his hat off to take a seat
“With Ari?” Wane asked
“Yeah, her grandfather passed away. Went out to support her and her fam” Sean replied
“Sorry to hear about that” Kanye replied as Sean just nodded
“But I did want to get in here and bang out some ideas with you; show you that I’m ready for this next album” Sean told him
“Concepts have to be high level. Too much of the industry at this time is on this wack shit of just money and hoes. Don’t come with no weak shit, this album has to show maturity” Kanye told him
“I agree” Sean nodded “I feel like since Hall of Fame, I’ve matured enough to really put it out there and let people see I can raise the bar for not just myself but rap in general” he said
“How you feel about going back to that track you did a few months ago, that ‘I Don’t Fuck With You’ record?” Kanye asked
“Haven’t really listened to it since recording it. Did it for fun in some ways” Sean said
“With everything going on with ol’ girl, it might be the one to mess with” Wane chimed in to say
“I mean we can, why you got something in mind?” Sean asked
“I added a few parts” Kanye said as he leaned back in his chair and let the record play that he had worked on. Listening to the beat and hearing how different it sounded, Sean couldn’t help but be drawn back in the time period of when he was with Naya.
“Wow, sounds kind of trippy now” Sean replied after hearing what Kanye had done “You been at work with this one” he laughed as he could tell his mentor had something in mind for the track
