S1 Recalls Producing 50 Cent's "My Life" Featuring Eminem & Adam Levine

by Slava Kuperstein

Producer S1

S1 discusses the path his beat took to becoming one of 50 Cent's most-anticipated songs.

"One of the most highly-anticipated tracks from 50 Cent's Street King Immortal is "My Life," featuring Eminem and Adam Levine.

The Voice on NBC

The track, which was produced by S1, will be performed live sans Eminem on NBC's "The Voice." In an interview with iStandardProducers, S1 discussed how he came to produce the cut.

S1...recalling the moment he met Fif. "I went to [New York] and made a visit to Dre at the G-Unit office. Fif was in a meeting in the backroom so Dre took me back to meet him. When Fif saw me, he immediately gets up and leaves the meeting and tells me 'I had an APB out on you. You got some HEAT!' So we went into his office and he told me the concept of the 'My Life' record and spit his verses for me. He was like 'This is gonna be HUGE.'

S1 explained that it took some time before the song emerged as a single. "So for the next year or so 50 cent would mention me in all his interviews about me producing on his album. Through the grapevine I was hearing Eminem hopped on the record then from an Executive at Interscope Records I was told Adam Levine was gonna be on the record. Fast forward through three mixtapes and one album later, the song stood the test of time and its about to come out now as a single." — Hip-Hop DX
