Words from Royce Da 5’9” and Eminem

“

“Echo” and “Living Proof” leaked, but they were the wrong version of both songs. Those songs finished are actually bonus cuts on the EP. We wanted to make it an EP, but we still wanted people to hear those songs, so we made them bonus cuts because the leaks didn’t do those songs any justice. We at least wanted people to hear them the way they should be heard.

I had heard that me and T.I. might do another song together and this was one of the ideas that I’d wanted to present to him. But then he had an idea to present to me and that was what we decided to go with for his album. So then I was going to try to rework it for me and Royce, because I still liked the beat and the hook, but we didn’t get a chance to finish it because it leaked.
