May 7, 2016 In a new interview with Billboard, Mike Dean talks a bit about executive producing Desiigner’s upcoming album. “He’s a lot more of an artist than you think he is. He’s not just some Future knockoff,” says Dean. “He talks like that — he sounds like he’s got Auto-Tune on his voice in real life. He talks like Future raps, which is weird. “I don’t know where he got his music influence,” he goes on. “Just like that old sh*t that I had, the sh*t with A$AP Rocky and Yams and all that sh*t. Like Yams said they grew up on that music on the Internet. Me and Plain Pat were talking about Desiigner. To older people, listening to music is like soul music or old rock music. To Desiigner though [what’s out now] is all the music he knows.” Earlier in the year, Desiigner came up to XXL HQ to play us some unreleased music of his. Guarantee he’s got at least one record with Mike Dean that you’re gonna want to look out for. For now, Desiigner is enjoying having the top song on the Billboard Hot 100. Some industry insiders even believe it’ll stay on top so long it’ll break records, but we’ll just have to wait and see. Hear a snippet of what Dean and Desiigner have been working on recently below, plus another one with Russ after that.

May 7, 2016 I don't really know why panda got so big i just thought it was a regular trap song nothing special but the people decide whats popular so i might just say he got really lucky but right now having mike dean in the lab this can turn out to be a great debut album like with Travis Scott. The right people right sound i just want some diversity in this album not trap only beats. I hope he get good features Desiigner especially should get in good terms with Future because beef with Future is never good in dont want that Lil Wayne Young thug thing pls

May 7, 2016 When 1 song and that one song becomes first on billboard+ is sampled on Kanye's album+ it gets you signed to good music+ you get Mike Dean to produce your album
May 8, 2016 Industry plant. Of course Mike Dean is going to defend him to the death since he's exec of his album. Dean probably never chose to do it - it would have been bestowed on him by Pusha/Kanye.
