Lupe Fiasco	Crystal's name kept popping up and I was like, who's this [?] And then it was like 'Hey Crystal, would you mind coming in and, y'know, playing on certain records?' It's so cool to be able to have a working relationship with somebody who operates at a internationally renown level.
Lupe 	It's like I'm in a studio with Miles Davis, right? To have somebody at a high caliber being able to like 'hey can you be able to play it like this' and they'll play it like that. and then be like 'oh, that was amazing, now can you play it like this?' Yeah can I play it like that—ooh my god, like can you just play?
Lupe 	It graduated my next album where it was like, it was a no brainer. It was like 'Hey, I'm going in the studio, I need Crystal.'
