Cole. “He was like, ‘man, you ever sat down and tried to make a hit before?’ I was like fuck nah, I don’t care about that shit,” Smino says. “He was like, ‘I feel you, but just see what’s up cause you’re the hitmaker out of your peers.'” Smino then recorded two tracks that night, one on a beat from Toronto producer T-Minus that was never released and the other turned into “Ole Ass Kendrick.
