Previously, Cordae revealed that the Detroit rapper asked him to re-do his verse. “You know what, I did my first verse for ‘Killer (Remix).’ I sent it over to him and I did it more like Andre 3000, E-40 type of flow and then Em called and he was like ‘Yo, I wanted you to be a little more lyrical. Do some rap-rap sh*t on it. I’m like ‘alright cool, whatever’ so he had me re-do my verse on some more rap because at first, I thought that song was not for rap-rap, it’s more like a vibe sort of thing and that’s why I gave that, he was like ‘I want you to attack it’ and I’m like ‘alright, cool, let’s try that.’”

The rapper also revealed the long conversation he had with the ‘Lose Yourself’ rapper. “Right before I did the “Killer” Remix with him, We had an hour and a half conversation about life, about music and hip-hop,” said Cordae. “He has always been showing me genuine love and support very early on and I appreciate all love and public support I get because It’s not like I’m not signed to him, so he does not have to do that. I don’t feel entitled for anybody to show me any type of love so any genuine love and support I get publicly, from fellow peers, fellow artists, I really appreciate that.”
In another interview, Cordae revealed the phone call he had with Eminem, which led to their collab. “He called me and we talked for like an hour and a half,” he details about Eminem Collab. “It was probably mid pandemic, we were just chopping about life, hip-hop, rap, everything for like literally two hours. And he was like ‘yo we gotta get some work in and get some music done’ and I sent them…And you know what? that was like June 2020 and I didn’t even send him a song till like April 2021, I’m wild low-key. It’s been a year since we talked. I was like ‘let me just get this verse out bro’ and then I sent them ‘Parables’ and boom that’s how it came about.”
The two went on to work on another song, as Eminem assisted Cordae on the “Parables” Remix which appeared on the “From A Bird’s Eye View” album.
