INTERVIEW: T-Minus w/ Complex.com
T-Minus gets some well deserved shine south of the border courtesy of Complex.com.
T-Minus is a name you might not know, but probably should learn. Born Tyler Williams, this Toronto-based producer of Jamaican descent has been on the scene for a few years, making beats for the likes of Birdman, Plies, and Lyfe Jennings. Although he really made a name for himself last year with Ludacris’ chart smash “How Low,” he’s looking to have an even bigger 2011. He’s already produced the exceptional T.I. cut “Poppin’ Bottles”—a Drake-featured track from No Mercy—as well as Nicki Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” which looks like the next single. We got on the horn with the 22-year-old to talk about how “Moment 4 Life” came about, how Wiz Khalifa’s version of “Poppin’ Bottles” leaked before T.I.’s version, and how he’s currently working on Drake’s Take Care as well as Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV.
