Trivia
- Along with most of the production credits on the album, fans were generally surprised to see listed, since Eminem had traditionally used in-house producers only. Just Blaze was well known for his work with and Roc-A-Fella Records, and for helping create a sound that contrasted with the Shady/Aftermath style of 2000s hip-hop.
Words from Eminem and Paul Rosenberg
“We made a decision to sort of open up the field, so to speak. We brought in producers that [Em] hadn’t really worked with before. Just Blaze comes to Detroit, and I think that really set the tone for the record.
“The first one [I made with Just Blaze] didn’t make it to the album. I don’t know what it was called, but I know that “Cold Wind Blows” was the second one I made.
