He's on FIRE right now if you aren't familiar.
QuoteBrandy — "Camouflage" from Human
"Camouflage," again, it was another situation like "Luv," but this time we were all out in L.A., so the focus was Brandy. That's all Rodney was working on. Every room was working on that. I had my room and I just started playing with sounds. I think I came up with the chords first and built a track around that. Claude Kelly, who wrote it, walked in the room and heard what I was doing. Instantly, he was starting to hear stuff and he wanted to write to it. When we were finished with it, Brandy came and heard it. She loved it.
I remember them rushing upstairs to tell Rodney, like, "Yo, you gotta hear what D'Mile and them are doing downstairs," but of course, Rodney took his sweet time (laughs). Eventually, he came down. I wasn't so sure if he liked it at first or not. Eventually, of course, he did and so did everybody else. Then, the next couple of days, she cut it. To see Brandy record anything is amazing. It was just amazing to see how that goes down. She's one of the best vocally, so that was fun to see.
The Carters - "Boss"
QuoteThat was a track that I had laying around and I never really finished it. We do a lot of tracks where the track is really all my vocals with all those harmonies and stuff. Me and Ty [Dolla $ign] have been known to do a lot of those. One day, he asked me if I had any more like that. I remember it was around midnight. I was about to go to sleep and he hit me. I got up and was like, "Damn, I only got two right now like that." The process of doing those [type of tracks] are a little longer, so I sent him one and sent him what became "Boss." When he heard it, he was like, "Yo, this is crazy. I got something to it already." Nothing happened to it for like a year until we got the call that Beyoncé wanted it. Then nothing happened again for like three or four years (laughs).
She held onto it all that time. I got to finish it a little bit after Ty wrote to it. He sent me the vocals back then we sent it and he took it from there. I wasn't sure if she was going to keep my vocals in there, which, that's kinda my thing when I do that. I'm like, she's Beyoncé, you might want to change it. But, it was cool to say that I'm singing on a record with her and JAY-Z. I didn't even know Jay-Z was going to hop on it until like two weeks before it came out. That was crazy.
My favorite from D'Mile right now

Camouflage is like my FAVORITE song from Human
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Between this and Shattered!! I was fuckin STANNIN!!
Camouflage is that BITCHHH
Not LUV and Camouflage
:gorlonfire:
One of the best songs on Human
ackkk
T4P Camouflage should have been the second single IMO. I like the way the song crescendos. My top 3 are right here, acapella, and camouflage. I would rate anything else on the album far lower than those 3.
