NODFACTOR.COM has an interview with Matt Friedman, one half of the Illfonics production duo along with Jed Cappelli. They were behind Gorilla Zoe's "Day Dreamer."

How did you link up with Gorilla Zoe to do “Day Dreamer?”

We had a meeting with his publisher and he came in and we hit it off. We played some beats and he liked a lot of shit. Our first session is where we knocked out Day Dreamer. He’s supposed to come back tonight actually.

Here's a clip with some "making of" discussion about the track:

Check out the clip below for a cool interview with producer Buckwild on Grind Music Radio. At the 2:22 mark, he talks about the beat for "I Got a Story to Tell" and how it was originally for Foxy Brown, but she said it was wack. The whole thing is worth a listen, but also check out the 5:05 mark for what he told someone that told him they wanted to "get [Puffy's] formula." Part 2 is included below, as well.
