Cardo has produced several hit records in past few years but it’s his work on Drake’s ‘God’s Plan’ along with Boi-1da that is really making headlines right now. It’s Drizzy’s second number 1 as a solo act, and has broken streaming records worldwide. Cardo spoke on making of the song recently with Digital Trends, revealing that he made the beat on Fruity Loops.
“It was really my cousin’s idea, Young Exclusive. He brought it to the table, sent it to me, I did what I had to do, then sent it to Drake around September 2017,” reveals Cardo whose real name is Ronald LaTour. “The name of the beat originally was called ‘Grace of God’, which was really weird. He called the song God’s Plan … My cousin was like, ‘Yo, this is destined for us.'”
Cardo also went on to talk a little bit about producing ‘Big Shot’, the high anticipated collaboration between Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott which will appear on the Black Panther soundtrack. It’s hitting stores this Friday, Feb. 9th. Cardo says the song has a big bounce and is meant for the clubs.
“That record is a banger. It’s hard to describe. It’s one of those records that as soon as you hear it in the club you’re like, “Oh shit. This is going up.” It got that bounce to it. Of course [Kendrick Lamar] and Travis coming in and doing what they have to do. It’s for the clubs. It’s for you to have a good time. It’s for you to bounce around. It’s fire. Honestly, I made that beat in October. I sent it to [Kendrick]. Next thing I know, he hit me back the same day with a rough of the idea.”
We can not wait to hear it.
