I used to grind. I be telling people, you don't grind, you don't sell. I was like 15, 16 getting dropped off in the city by myself, with my own beat CDs.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
Tupac Back' was the first single I had, but prior to that I already had 20-something songs in the street.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
Those are two artists that I worked with real closely. Me and Miley are real close, me and Future are real close.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I'm so into making music and being behind the scenes. I'm such a visionary person that I don't see myself being the person in front of the camera or the person in front of the mic.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
Yeah, I co-directed '23.' Yeah, the whole concept of the video... Even with that video, I feel like it's not a video that you can get sick of. You can always go back and watch that and it's fresh.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
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.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
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.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
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.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
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.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I first heard Trouble in 2008. At that time I was on my grind, trying to work with all the next-up artists. I had sent him a couple beats; he had done a couple songs. We was always around the same age.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
If you're a super-producer, you can produce whatever you want to produce. That's where I'm at.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
At the end of the day, I was listening to the big homies and they were saying, 'Yo, man, you got talent, man, stay off the streets.'
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I used to listen to songs on the radio and play that junk back on that little keyboard.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
The 'trap' sound is a sound from the city. We've always liked music with bass. We've always liked old schools with big speakers in the trunks. We like our music loud. We've always had a nightlife scene in Atlanta.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
Matter fact, my girl complains about how much I'm in the studio working. But she sees the results as they roll out.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
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.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I'm just trying to bring the sound from Atlanta over to the mainstream radio in a way that everybody can enjoy.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I really believed in 2 Chainz, I really believed in Future, and I was going to the studio with them every single day.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I can work with all these different kinds of artists and still be able to come up with huge records. Not just cool records, but game-changing records.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
Future was always the person to knock out multiple bangers in one night.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
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.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
When I tried to send him beats in 2010, he told me I was too expensive for him. I told Future we had to work together, that it would be beneficial for both of us, that we didn't have to worry about the money.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
This is the city of the underdog champion, so they want to see the next person out of their city blowing up and making I feel like, man, Atlanta's a big city, but it's so small.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I feel like soccer brings another dynamic to the city, it makes it more eclectic... I feel like it opens doors for people who grew up playing soccer here their whole life. We've got some rings on the way, trophies on the way, and we're gonna win, and we're gonna stand behind Atlanta United just like we stand behind everything else out of Atlanta.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
That's the most important part of all the music I produce: making sure the artist is bringing themselves out in the music.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
You can't please everybody. As long as you make dope music, you're gonna have your fans.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I didn't have no college friends. All the artists the college folks were listening to were my homies. I was leaving class, literally, to record with them.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I like blessing others around me. When you work hard, it's just dope to give back to the people around you.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
Once you start getting money, it relieves your stress of worrying about how you're going to pay your next bill. It's more like another stress of how many bills you have to pay.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
If you put your time and energy into developing creatively, that's where you'll go.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I really like coming across all types of different music, and hearing new things.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I wanted 'Formation' to be a woman empowerment song, but Beyonce made it into a culture empowerment song.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
2012, I feel like I was still grinding. It was a good year for me, but that was my year breaking down the barriers. It was like my introduction.
Quote by -Mike Will Made It
I did 'We Can't Stop' for Rihanna, but it never worked. Every time I would play 'We Can't Stop' I was like 'this is the new 'Party in the U.S.A.'' I was like OK if I keep saying this is the new 'Party in the U.S.A.,' why don't I go to the girl who did 'Party in the U.S.A.?'
