SZA’s debut album 'Ctrl' was one of the most anticipated albums of the year, and the project’s sixth track “The Weekend” took off immediately. Quickly grabbing everyone’s attention due to its subject matter, the song has over 31 million plays on Spotify, another 1.4 million Soundcloud streams, and an upcoming video directed by Solange. Memphis producer ThankGod4Cody is responsible for the beat, and he sat down with Genius to explain how he created it.

R&b producers are way more chill & laid back from hip hop producers.
