Taking to Instagram on Thursday (March 21), the All-Star producer shared a video from the Drizzy and JB session that created the aforementioned 2012 song, explaining how the track was initially meant to be on the “24k of Gold” cut from Sean’s Detroit mixtape.

crazy story for throwback thursday,” he began. “this is a clip of justin bieber and drake working on a beat i produced for their song ‘right here.’ the funny thing is big sean and j cole had a song called ’24k of gold’ over the same beat and i had to choose who to give the beat to. that was TOUGH but sean being the solid dude he is told me to run it with bieber and drake cuz he knew it was a a1 look for me.

“salute to him for that ! i never even knew they caught a vibe to the second beat playing at the end i made that too. time flies.”

In the comments, he added a shout out to fellow producer Key Wane, writing: “shout to bro @keywane for flipping the 24k of gold joint and goin crzy on it.”

Additionally, he also noted that Big Sean is “solid as they come” and Drake is “legendary.”
