Mikey: Soulja boy talks about his growth as a producer, and some of the new music he’s worked with the likes of Kanye West, Rihanna, and Jamie Foxx. He also goes into detail about what it was like collaborating with Ye’.

“The process with Kanye — he’ll come in and it depends on what it is,” Soulja continued. “If I’m making the beat from scratch, I’ll just work. If he’s got a sample … It was three different samples that we was working on. On one of them, he was like, ‘I want this to go here, I want you to do this.’ I like when an artist pushes me how he was pushing me. He doesn’t go easy on me. I make it and be like, ‘Here.’ Nah, I had to go over it several times. It can be frustrating too. At the same time, sitting there trying to make a beat for the person that’s right in front of you, it can be a lot of pressure, but it’s all fun. At the end of the day, we’re making hit music.”
