“I loved the “Featuring Phat Kat” joint off of Welcome to Detroit. That’s one of my favorites because that was the first joint we recorded for Welcome to Detroit…we just sat in the basement smoking [laughs], lookin' at crazy album covers laughin' and shit... We found the sample and six minutes later, he was playin' that [the final product] on the loud speaker. I was like, 'Shit, let’s do this.' “Don’t Nobody Care About Us” is another favorite...I saw the whole process of the beat come together when we were sitting there. He made the beat on the spot, I laid the rhyme on the spot; it just was magic. That’s the way a lot of our material together was done.” – Phat Kat, artist and collaborator

“My chemistry with Dilla from The Coming all the way to “You Cant Hold The Torch,” I don’t even think words can do it justice. It’s more of a feeling…it’s a vibe. It’s an energy. Without getting too deep, Dilla was always the one producer who could find that pocket that the average producer was never able to find.” – Busta Rhymes, artist and collaborator
