In October, Jon Connor announced via his BET Hip Hop Awards cypher that he was the latest artist to sign to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment. According to the Midwest emcee, it was more than just his music that earned the famed producer’s respect.

Speaking with MTV News following the announcement, Connor discussed working with Dre.

“He was like, ‘The music was there,’” Jon Connor said. “He liked the music and he liked what I was doing. He respected what I was doing. It was just at that point, just going in the studio and seeing if we had chemistry and vibed out. You know, as people. You can be the greatest rapper in the world. You could be the greatest artist in the world, but if you a dick, you know what I’m saying, ain’t nobody gonna want to work with you. It don’t matter how good you are, but it was like that’s what sealed the deal…It was the chemistry musically and it was the chemistry as just two good people.”
