Watt’s journey to creating “Godspeed” began at Heatmakerz’s studio, where he sifted through approximately 20 beats before selecting one with a vintage gospel sample that was mixed with rock and roll and street elements that immediately resonated with him; inspired Brady quickly crafted the hook and refined the track by adding bass, synths, and keys from Carlos Homs.
“I’m a lifelong Dipset fan,” Watt shared. “Over the years, I’ve developed a friendship with Jim and Heatmakerz. I’m always making beats, but I wanted to see what would happen if I used someone else’s production while still adding my instrumentation and bass.”
