The unmistakable producer tag of Mike WiLL Made-It has graced some of pop and southern rap’s most ubiquitous hits in recent years. Born in Atlanta, Michael Williams’ journey began with the gift of a Korg ES-1 sampler from his father, followed by his first break: producing for hometown hero Gucci Mane. Since then he’s founded the EarDrummers Entertainment company, home to rappers and producers, and helped maintain Atlanta’s status as the unquestioned epicenter of modern day hip-hop. While he’s capable of impeccable rap-pop work, as demonstrated on Beyoncé’s “Formation,” he saves his weirdest, most adventurous work for crossover wunderkinds like Miley Cyrus and Rae Sremmurd, with whom he executive produced *SremmLife* and *SremmLife 2*.
