DotDaGenius who is Kid Cudi’s longtime producer and a friend unveiled the off-the-cuff process behind the Cleveland Hip Hop veteran’s 2020 collaboration with Eminem.

 DotDaGenius shared on his Instagram post on Friday 25th of February, a special beat breakdown video detailing the creative process behind “The Adventures Of Moon Man & Slim Shady” to honor the memory of the final days of Black Future Month. During the short music, the Brooklyn-bred producer disclosed that he produced the instrumental for the record years before Kid Cudi made use of it.

“I made that beat in 2017,” DotDaGenius started off. “Fast forward to 2020, the year of the pandemic, Cudi always had it and started writing to it. We went to the studio, cut it — it sounded crazy.”

He further explained that Kid Cudi brought the idea to recruit Eminem for the record, to which he agreed. He told him to make the mechanics of the production stronger in anticipation of the “Rap God” lyricist’s monster guest verse.

“Then he said he wanted to get Eminem on it and I was like, ‘Okay, yes,’” he said. “Before he did that, though, I had the beat in a good place but I had my homie, Jay Graham, to come through and some much-needed sounds for dynamics. He’s good with that.”
