In an interview with YouTuber EricTheYoungGawd, producer Syk Sense called music being considered for the upcoming <a href="/profile/KendrickLamar" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kendrick Lamar</a> album &#8220;some of the hardest shit I&#8217;ve heard.&#8221;
He offered the caveat that he had only listened to many of the beats Kendrick was weighing, and he wasn&#8217;t sure exactly what would make the album, but he struggled to put his awe into words.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve got some new guys that&#8217;s really gonna make a name for themselves with these beats,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not like the jazzy tape you would think, its like&#8230; fucking Memphis. It&#8217;s LA, it&#8217;s Memphis.&#8221;
When asked if the album resembled &#8220;Untitled 07,&#8221; Syk replied,  &#8220;In a way. But it&#8217;s on some different shit. I don&#8217;t even know how to explain it. I can&#8217;t wait either to be honest, because Kendrick is such an elevated mind, you just never know.&#8221;
He also offered some insight into the making of the first portion of <a href="http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kendrick-lamar-the-heart-part-4-new-song.1973414.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">&#8220;The Heart Part 4.&#8221;</a> He was casually working in the studio with Khalid, whose breakout single &#8220;Location&#8221; he produced, and his friend Axl Folie. They reversed a few vocal lines Khalid laid down, interspersed some among vocal lines running forward, added effects, keys, and drums.
&#8220;We just got this vibe, and we&#8217;re just sitting there, like, &#8216;fuck, man, this shit is crazy!'&#8221; Syk recalled. &#8220;Axl, he knows Kendrick, just personally, he&#8217;s produced for him before, so he sent him this beat. It was so fast. I&#8217;ve never had anybody saying they wanted a beat so quick.&#8221; 
The Kendrick portion of Syk&#8217;s interview begins at 35:20 below.
