XXLMag.com talked with French Montana about how he selects his next single and, as part of that, he discussed how "Shot Caller" came to be.
"The story of that beat, I had did that for Funkmaster Flex," he said. "I always liked that record ['Funky Child' by Lords of the Underground]. The part that was catchy to me was the horns on the 'Funky Child' record. I went to my producer, Harry Fraud. He sat on it, he didn't want to do it. But, I came in the studio one day and made him do it. Then Charlie Rock was just there while we was making the beat, then he kept coming out with that melody on the chorus of 'Shot Caller.' Then I said, 'you need to go in there and do that.'"
