MIKE WILL MADE IT

I'm just expanding my sound and making it bigger.

If I tell you purple look good on you, and you ain't never wore purple, your favorite colors are red and green, and you're like, No man, these my colors. You won't know purple is your color until you try it on.

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.

We Can't Stop' has so many different vibes to it. She sounds country; the beat has these live, knocking drums; and then it has these pop melodies. It's a feel-good record.

Sometimes I feel like I represent for the misunderstood.

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.

Jimmy Iovine has been telling me since 2012 that I needed to start my own label with my own artists. This was when he first met me and 'Bandz a Make Her Dance' was first taking off.

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

Kanye is one of my favorite producers and artists.

It's like I have three different brains.

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.

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.

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.'

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

I used to be with Gucci every day. School nights, I was with Gucci going to all the different clubs, going to his video shoots. Just moving around with him is how I met a lot of different artists like 2 Chainz and Shawty Lo and other people I work with now.

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

Miley Cyrus is the new Madonna.

Juicy J was always one of my favorites. For one, he was a producer and I just used to love how he came on his verses every time.

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.

Putting together a hit record is like putting together a puzzle.

A lot of people slept on Rae Sremmurd.

Pharrell is a legend.

I've just got to keep a balanced head and stay focused.

I like everything rare - cars, shoes, clothes.

It's important to show the new generation that soundtracks can be just as exciting as traditional albums if put in the hands of the right curator.
