Additionally, the pair helped create Brandy’s record, Never Say Never, which helped cement their status as leaders in the industry. Speaking with Parle Magazine, Daniels said that one of his proudest moments as a producer was when he heard the song “Girls Love Beyonce,” from Drake, particularly due to the “Say My Name” sample.
LaShawn said, as a writer, it brought him a lot of pride when he could see that some of the biggest artists today, and some of the most respected, shared an appreciation for songs he helped produce. Daniels went on to say that he was thrilled when Drake continued to sample some of his work.
