Creating “Overdose On Life”: “I’m big on concepts; I like to take a title and give it to an artist, you know, like a director sending a movie script to an actor. So basically I had the concept for ‘Overdose on Life’ and I told each [artist] do what overdosing on life represents to you. And then Drake dropped his verse right quick. I remember we were in the studio and went down stairs for like 20 minutes just talking, came back and Drake was like, ‘My verse is done.’ So he laid that, then 40 did all the vocal trickery. Mickey [Factz] heard his then laid a verse, then Travie [McCoy] heard both of theirs and laid his.”
