Mustard has shared that it only took him 30 minutes to create the beat for Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss track "Not Like Us." He also mentioned that his inspiration for the infectious production came from Dr. Dre and Lil Jon. Mustard wondered what a collaboration between the two iconic producers would sound like, leading to the creation of the already iconic beat.
Mustard recently opened up about his involvement in Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which targeted Drake during a significant rap beef. Contrary to fan speculation, Mustard clarified that he did not sample Nas' "Ether" for the track. Interestingly, he revealed that he first heard the completed song along with the general public and was not present in the studio during its creation.
Reflecting on his creative process, Mustard shared his thoughts on what Dr. Dre and Lil Jon would do if they collaborated on a beat, emphasizing the unique inspiration behind "Not Like Us." Additionally, Mustard expressed his surprise at how Kendrick Lamar elevated the beat, stating that he did not expect the track to be received so well.
In addition to his work on "Not Like Us," Mustard is preparing to release his fourth studio album titled *Faith of a Mustard Seed* on July 26. The album will feature a track called "Parking Lot" with Travis Scott, who recently teased a snippet of the song. Mustard's previous album, *Perfect Ten*, debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and included collaborations with various artists like Young Thug, Ty Dolla Sign, and the late Nipsey Hussle. The album spawned popular tracks such as "Pure Water" and "On GOD."
