“Maturity, growth,” Wayne explained of what brought them back together. “Grown men. Also, I done a song with [Buck]. With [recording] the song, we talked, spoke our differences out, which we had none. Zero. We had no beef. Grown men don’t talk about the past. We just sat there — ‘You good?’ ‘I’m good.’ ‘Let’s do it. Whatever you need me to do, I’mma do it.’

“I’m redoing all the old Brooklyn artists,” he divulged. “[Mick's] got some old stuff. So old, he had to send the originals. I don’t know what them songs are. I had to listen to them a trillion times, then do it. Nikki Menage, my artist, [and I did] ‘Sunshine’ by Jay-Z and Babyface. We did ‘Juicy.’ It’s sick.” …
