MegaMan

Lovin’ the shine Mega’s getting right about now. Been ridin’ with dude since day one so it’s great to see some international exposure! I don’t doubt that there will be much more to come. If you’re behind, here’s some MegaMan required listening:

Luu Breeze – Break ‘Em Off (beat’s still too durrrrrrty)
Richie Sosa – The Dutch
US – Rain
Lil’ Wayne – MegaMan

XXLMag.com: How did you land on C4?

Well, I have a very close relationship with DJ Folk, Young Jeezy’s DJ, and he has a close relationship with Josh and a couple of guys from Cash Money. I was hearing the Wayne album was finished, closed, so I gave up on that. He actually had a record from me already that was supposed to be on the album that was suppose to feature Amy Winehouse, but it didn’t go through. I don’t know details. But then I heard the credits reopened. Someone told me he was looking for a hard track. I created something new, off the top. I just thought of Wayne and went from there. The beat came out the way it came out. I made sure it had that Wayne feeling, that Wayne vibe. I sent it to Folk, and he sent it to Josh and the rest is history.

And the first track you made, the one that was suppose to have Amy Winehouse on it… How did that almost end up on Wayne’s album?

I got a phone call from Boi-1da, he said, “I might have a placement featuring Amy Winehouse.” He would know more info more than me, but that would’ve been epic. It was a track I had, I had a reference on it from Liz Rodriguez. She’s a songwriter signed to Universal. She did a reference for me and Wayne heard it, he liked it and wanted to put Amy on it. But, it didn’t go through and I don’t know details as to why. That beat wasn’t even meant for Wayne, though. It was meant for Jay-Z, Kanye or Lupe. I just learned that you don’t… I stop making beats for artists based on what they’ve done and started doing stuff I wanna do and go with that. Artists don’t want to come out with whatever they came out with already. They want something new and they trust you to know what that is.
