Steve Lacy Waited On SZA's Verse & It Came Through Right On Time

Steve Lacy could've pushed SZA to hurry up on their collaboration, but that's not how he moves. According to him, he made space for her to do her thing without rushing the process — and her verse came through exactly when he needed it, right before he had to submit the final track.

It's a small detail that says something real about how the best music gets made. No pressure, no artificial deadlines, just letting an artist work at the pace that lets them deliver their best. SZA showed up when it mattered.
