Maino tells XXL that he had his hands on three beats that ultimately became ‘Not Afraid’, ’25 to Life’, and ‘Talkin’ to Myself’ on Eminem’s album Recovery.
“I recorded that in 2007,” he recalled of “Talkin’ to Myself.” “A lot of times, you record a lot of the album, you record a lot of music before you actually put the music out. What happens is, sometimes you don’t actually love everything you do. That particular record, I didn’t love my performance on it—to the point where I loved the hook, but I didn’t feel like I did it [justice]. I was gonna get back to it and redo it, but I had never done it.”
