Miley Cyrus Mike Will Made-It Album: 'Bangerz' Release, Couldn't Have Made-It Without Him
After stirring up the entire nation with her twerking, wrecking ball, nudity, skimpy-tight wardrobe and foam fingers, Miley Cyrus finally released her highly-anticipated fourth studio album "Bangerz," on Tuesday, October 8 -- and she couldn't have done it without the acclaimed hip-hop producer, Mike Will Made-It.
The 24-year-old Michael Williams started making beats at age 14, and became famous when he began producing mixtape tracks for 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane. His past accomplishments are 2 Chainz' "No Lie," which sold 1.4 million copies, Future's "Turn On the Lights," and Juicy J's "Bandz a Maker Her Dance."
He also recently produced some hit songs, such as Kanye West's "Mercy," Rihanna's "Pour It Up," Ciara's "Body Party," and can't forget about Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," the party anthem that Mike Will originally intended for Rihanna. "The song reminded her of different parties she had been to," he talked about how Cyrus felt about the song. "It just ended up connecting with her."
The odd duo, Miley Cyrus and Mike Will Made-It, worked together on the producer's own single, "23" featuring Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J, and the pop singer's "My Darlin'," featuring Future. Mike Will eventually became executive producer of Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" album, and crafted eight tracks out of 13 tracks.
The Atlanta Hip-Hop producer talks about the inspiration of the album title. "The whole album was bangers, and that's actually how she came up with the title," Mike Will says. "Everybody was like, 'Yo, so how's your album sounding?' And we were just saying, 'We got all bangers.'"
Mike Will Made-It is currently working on his debut album, "Est. in 1989 Pt. 3 (The Album)," which he plans to release it in early 2014 under Interscope Records. The album will feature the hottest Hip-Hop artists today, such as Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Future and more.
