Catrise Johnson:
Hey, everyone. It’s your girl, Catrise J, and we are here with Mike Will Made-It. Congratulations on your new album, R3set. It’s your first album in seven years. How do you feel? 

Mike Will Made-It:
Man, it’s been a journey for real. Like it’s Ransom 3. So like each Ransom is like over, like different phases, and like Ransom stands for, like, releasing all new songs, orchestrated by might well. When I came out with the first one, it was like me coming after that, 2012, 2013, 2014 run. But it was a buzz tool for me at the time, because I was like, “Man, I can put together Kendrick, Wayne and Future in the song and make ‘Buy the World.’ I can put together Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J. I could put Future and Swae Lee, and on the track and make ‘Drinks on Us.'” Like that’s how I was coming about the first Ransom, and I wanted to do it as many times as possible.

And the second Ransom, I wanted to do like a little refined version of that, Gucci Mane, Kendrick, Rae Sremmurd, “Perfect. Pint.” YG, 21 and the Migos “Gucci On My.” We had some cool collaborations on that. And that was also a long project. And around that time, right there, I had lost my hard drives. My hard drives had gotten stolen. 

I heard about that. 

Yeah, I really eased back from the music. And then I started buying real estate. So I bought about my studio that I work here right now in Atlanta, like when I first got that, it would just be like, couple TVs on the wall, we’d just be in there gambling on 2K. I wasn’t even, I wasn’t really tripping on the music like that. 

Keep watching for more!
