S1 doesn’t need an introduction. His Twitter bio says: “3 x GRAMMY Producer | Beyoncé, Kanye, Madonna, Drake, Eminem, Jay Z, Lil Uzi, Meek Mill”. He worked with Eminem on “Bad Guy” for MMLP2 and on a couple of tracks on “Kamikaze”. And maybe, possibly, something more?
The producer shared a photo from his lab, and the focal point of this picture is a screen with a still from “8 Mile”. A close-up of B-Rabbit and Papa Doc during their final battle. Symbolic One captioned it with an inspirational message:
When commitment, discipline and faith exceeds the adversity, fear, and intense deadlines. 🎬 S1
So what is it? Just the artist at work looking for inspiration in an epic hip hop story that happened to be portrayed and inspired by Eminem? Some fans prefer to see a deeper connection and do hope that S1’s source of inspiration here is not random and that he works on something for Marshall himself. Would you bet on it?
