Dem Jointz talks about working with Dr. Dre & Eminem.
Aftermath producer Dem Jointz recently sat down with HotNewHipHop for a new interview where he talks about his career, his influences, the recent picture with Dr. Dre in the studio, and much more. He talks about the ‘Detox‘ after his hashtag on the picture with Dr. Dre.
HNHH: It must be crazy for you, having studied Dr. Dre’s mixing to now being in his production circle.
Dem Jointz: It’s a blessing man, but I try not to spend too much time, even to this day, being in awe. I have to remember why I’m here and what’s it going to take to get this monumental work done.
HNHH: I can imagine. I can remember first hearing about Detox in like 2002, and it’s become this whole mythical thing. So when you guys posted that Detox reunion picture, part of me was like are you guys just having fun with us at this point?
Dem Jointz: Being creative is just having fun. Dre’s back and feeling better than ever. That post was me just being happy and excited. It is a mythical creature, but we’re having fun and being creative and that’s what it’s about.

HNHH: The day you took that picture, what was the vibe like? What were you guys working on — if you can say?
Dem Jointz: Nothing in particular, man. Just being creative. It’s dope because that whole room is full of so many talented people. To collaborate with so many different people and for it to connect perfectly…It happens like that every time. It’s because Dre knows how to pick the people that are going to connect, and that in itself is genius. So when we get together it’s just a family reunion. So what does that sound like? Whatever we’re working on is super dope and super inspiring. So when we take that picture everyone it’s like everyone’s happy like “Yeah we in here!” It’s nothing specific though, like I said we’re just having fun and being creative.
Dem Jointz also talks about recently contributing to Eminem’s “Music To Be Murdered By” and the deluxe version of it.
HNHH: Before we wrap — I see your name in the credits for Eminem’s latest album. I was curious about what those sessions were like? What was your approach to working with Eminem?

Dem Jointz: It was super dope. We were collaborating in the studio and Eminem came down to LA to be creative with us. They shut it down to where he had his studio in the back and we were working up front. It was super dope because he would hear us bumping something and he would come up behind us like “What was that? Play it again.” He’ll be in his head and then be like “Can you send me that?” and then go back to the room. It’s crazy that he can create something that can make someone double-take like that. It was dope. It was like when we did “Medicine Man” you hear Eminem on your track and it’s like WOW this is crazy! Let me try making this the best thing ever.
Dem Jointz’s Credit report is self-evident. His credits include production for 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Anderson.Paak, Cordae, J. Cole, Rihanna, Xzibit, K.A.A.N, Kanye West, ScHoolboy Q, and many others. Despite being surrounded by some of the game’s legends, Dem Jointz has managed to stay grounded and value originality while his network grows.
