Exclusive: We talked with three of SZA's collaborators — Rodney Jerkins, Rob Bisel, and Carter Lang — for the inside stories behind her chart-dominating 'SOS'
There’s a wild story behind the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s guest appearance on “Forgiveless,” which Jerkins pulled from footage for a documentary about his own decades-spanning career.
“I was just actually just digitizing a bunch of my footage from my documentary that I’m working on, and I came across this VHS tape from 1998 that had ODB.,” says Jerkins. “He was in my studio and I didn’t have a session with him! He just was passing through and he just started rapping about a hundred bars.
Although SZA had been working on the album since at least 2019, 2022 was by far the most productive year. “Obviously there was a lot of stuff made in 2021, but in 2022, that’s when you started feeling like, hey, ‘We gotta do this shit like, it’s been some years,'” says Lang. “We bottled up that energy and everything was just sort of a preparation for that moment.” “Kill Bill,” “Open Arms,” “Nobody Gets Me,” and “Special,” among other tracks, were all created in 2022.
Bisel, who engineered the whole album and also worked as a producer and songwriter on multiple tracks, had a specific goal for“I wanted to help her prove that she is a lot more than just an R&B artist. She’s everything. She’s a rock star. She can rap better than pretty much anyone. She can do it all. And she’s one of the best writers of all time. So that was my hidden agenda, just to help her showcase all these different sides. I think that was one of her goals too.
