There's lots of talented young producers on the rise right now, but Mike WiLL Made It is making his presence felt in a big way. Best known for producing Meek Mill’s “Tupac Back” and Future’s “Ain’t No Way Around It,” Mike Will is quickly establishing himself as the go-to heatmaker for some of hip-hop’s biggest stars.

His latest banger to set the rap scene ablaze is “No Lie”—2 Chainz’s Drake-assisted first single, which was released last Tuesday—with a video already in the works. We caught up with the man behind the boards to find out just how “No Lie” came together and what other surprises Mike WiLL’s got in store for us in the near future.

As told to Julian Pereira (@Broadway_Jay)

On 2 Chainz f/ Drake “No Lie”

“2 Chainz and I have a history. It’s always an honor and pleasure working with him, because it seems like everything we do is dope. We just have that organic chemistry. I’ve been rocking with him since 2008, when he was Tity Boi. That was before he switched his name up and started doing his solo thing. We’re kind of like family.

Plans For The Future

“I’m just expanding my sound and making it bigger. B.o.B’s album dropped yesterday, and I did a record on it called ‘Just A Sign,’ which is like a hood pop song. I’ve also been working with Drake, Jeremih, Rocko, Ludacris, I’ve got a joint with Brandy, called ‘Do You Know,’ three joints on Future’s album, and I produced Gucci Mane’s next single, ‘Plain Jane,’ featuring Rocko and T.I.
