Kathryn Johnson:
Hello, everyone. It's your girl, Catrise J, and we're here with Mike Will Made-It. Congratulations on your new album, R3set. It's your first album in seven years. How are you feeling?
Mike Will Made-It:
Man, it really was a trip. As it is Ransom 3. So like each Ransom are as above, as different phases, and as Ransom means, like, the release of all new songs, orchestrated by May well. When I came out with the first one, it was like coming after that, 2012, 2013, 2014. But it was a tool for me at the time, because I was like, “Man, I can put Kendrick and Wayne and Future on the song and to make “buy the World”. I can put Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J together. I could put Future and Swae Lee on the track and make 'Drinks on Us.'” Ransomand I wanted to do it as many times as possible.
And the second RansomI wanted to do like a slightly refined version of that, Gucci Mane, Kendrick, Rae Sremmurd, 'Perfect. Pint.” YG, 21 and Migos “Gucci On My.” We had some good collaborations on that. And that was a long project too. And at the time, right there, I had lost my hard drives. My hard drives had is stolen.
I heard about it.
Yes, I really took a break from music. And then I started buying real estate. So I bought for my studio that I'm working at right now in Atlanta, like when I first got it, it would be like, two TVs on the wall, we'd just be there to bet on 2K. I wasn't even, I don't stumble into music like that.
Stay tuned for more!
