He also uses a loop featuring the lyrics, "let me see you" in most of his songs, most notably in Chris Brown's ' Loyal' He's always done that since high school, so it was always his own thing. Even if it is dark chords, a happy melody, a video game melody, is always in his beats. Nic Nac says, he always had these little video gamey melodies, and put more R&B chords underneath that melody. Balding delivered, his production replete with an echoing "I neeeed you" helium vocal sample. In 2015, he then produced Chris Brown and Tyga's single " Ayo".
