10/10: Producer Coptic Talks About Unused Track He Produced for Diddy's "No Way Out"
In an
interview with Ghana Music.com, music producer Coptic talks about his background and how he came up in the music business around Uptown Records and Bad Boy.
One interesting detail he mentioned was that, a few weeks before Biggie died, he sold a track to Bad Boy that was meant for Diddy's debut album, which eventually became known as "No Way Out." The track was meant to feature Biggie. But, after the untimely passing of Christopher Wallace, Coptic says he never heard from the track again.
It's unclear if vocals were ever laid to it - given the timing of it all, it's highly possible that it just ended up being an unused instrumental. But, we may never know.
Update: I talked to Coptic and he said that he
doesn't know if vocals were ever recorded for the song.
