Just three days later on the morning of April 4th, Nic and I received an email back from Phonte with a completed song attached.
Subject: As Fast As You Can
Message: Bruh...
Look, man. When I opened that attachment and heard Carmen singing over that music, it sounded like we made it specifically for her. Her tone and the instrumental?!?! She fit PERFECTLY. I remember Phonte telling me about the writing style he and Carmen collaborated on for it where they utilized the same melody and cadence for the verses as he did in the hook. Well, the shit worked. I honestly had to STOP myself from listening to this song too much once I got the recorded vocals back. Out of everything we made, it was the one that I kept going back to. I never claim favorites when it comes to music I'm involved in, but I RAN this shit, bruh. A ton. It was always crazy to me how this song went from being sort of an "accident" to me burning a hole in it later by playing it so much. This was just further confirmation that this music was supposed to happen.
