Mike Will Made It

“When I do music I don't think about urban music, pop or country, I just think about a good song.”

“As far as rapping goes, as long as you are telling the truth and you have a good flow, then you win.”

“With Yo Gotti 'Rack It Up,' that was him hitting me like, bro, I'm about to put out a single next month, I want you to produce it.”

“If I get a Grammy, that would be dope.”

“It doesn't matter if it's platinum or 10-times platinum - it's a certification that lets me know that I'm not wasting my time in the studio. That being said, I don't let those certifications run my life.”

“I was able to bring Gucci and Rae Sremmurd on a track together. It was crazy because it seemed like it was destined to be.”

“Future is my brother. He has no idea how big what he does is.”

“At the beginning of my career before anything started propelling, I used to blow up everybody. I was trying to work with whoever got next.”

“I'm just trying to bring the sound from Atlanta over to the mainstream radio in a way that everybody can enjoy.”

“I do it all, man. I produce, I do my own wardrobe and my own ironing, too!”

“Kanye is one of my favorite producers and artists.”

“You can scroll through my iTunes and I've got everything. I've got Ace Hood, Alt-J, Annie Lennox, Arctic Monkeys, Beanie Sigel, the Beatles, Beth Hart, Big Sean, Bob Dylan, Bon Iver, Chief Keef, Coldplay, the Flaming Lips, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, OutKast, Pet Shop Boys, Peter Gabriel, the Smiths, and the list goes on from there.”

“I feel like Rae Sremmurd is just a whole new sound culturally. People don't understand, but they learn to understand. The melody choice is different and everything.”

“I'm not really the type that likes to put out a project just to say I've put it out - I like to make them count.”

“I'm a producer, not just a beatmaker but a producer.”

“I want to make sure that I sign dope artists, old and new, just to make sure that we come up with something new and creative.”

“For 'Black Beatles' to be so true to us and our sound - we weren't chasing a sound - it solidifies that the world is ready for us and what we have to come.”

“It started off with me being all the way influenced by Atlanta and southern music but I knew my sound had to grow - I started learning melodies.”

“God has blessed me with something. One day, I do see myself being like Jimmy Iovine. I'm trying to build an empire.”

“I have a 200-song catalogue in the streets and I never got any money off that.”
