Original Title: “Pulled Strings”
Intended For: Meek Mill
I made the beat for Meek. I just wanted to make a hard-ass beat for him, ’cause he be rapping on hard shit, but I wanted to do something different. Matter of fact he did a freestyle to “Yall Don’t Really Hear Me Tho,” and I liked that shit. So I’m like, “Yo, I wanna make him a beat like 'Yall Don’t Really Hear Me Tho,'" where I want it to be hard and street gritty and shit. I used the same snare in “Yall Don’t Really Hear Me Tho” in “Lean Wit It,” if you really listen to it. I just wanted to give him that hard shit with that bounce. I think that’s what I’m talking when I say I wanna develop my own sound and come up with some crazy shit. I’m getting there, that was like my first joint where I was actually showing off my own sound.The [record] was originally called Pulled Strings. When you listen to "Lean Wit It," he formatted the beat differently, but when the snares come on it got these violent strings, 'cause I’m big on strings. Those are violins in there, basically there’s a lot of strings on that shit, so I just called it that.
