Ab-Soul Breaks Down ‘Christopher DRONEr’
This is taken from his recent interview with XXL, which you can read in full here.
“Actually just me and my homies, we was just looking further into the case, the situation at hand,” Ab-Soul told XXL. “I think the whole situation was very open-ended. Definitely no disrespect to Trayvon Martin or a lot of the things that have been happening along those lines. But I kinda just wanted to make sure we didn’t completely just forget about the situation.”
As for the timing of the record, the rapper explained, “I wrote it back when it happened, but we finally got around to putting it out.[I] felt like it was a good time. Because I haven’t heard too much more about it. I haven’t heard these conversations so I felt like it was a great time to put it out. Just don’t forget this happened not too long ago. That was pretty crazy. We don’t really know [what happened]. I really looked into it because it was really heart felt. Even still the whole case is really open-ended.”

Mike WiLL Made It: The Billboard Cover Story
David Peisner interviewed the biggest producer in rap right now for Billboard’s cover story this month. You can read the whole thing here, an excerpt is below.
Will’s first hit came in 2011, on Meek Mill’s high-energy “Tupac Back” (featuring Rick Ross), which reached No. 31 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 21 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart and has sold 176,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The more he worked, the more Will realized he wanted to be what he calls “a real producer,” not simply a guy hunched over his laptop making beats and then sending them out.
“I started bringing some weird, different beats, and rappers were just like, ‘What the hell is this? You got something else?'” he recalls. “I realized they can’t really rap on that because it’s not sounding like nobody else’s [material].” When he brought Future the beat for “Ain’t No Way Around It,” the rapper wasn’t interested. “I played him that beat 10 times. Every day I went into the studio like, ‘This beat is it!,’ and he was like, ‘Nah, I don’t like it.’ Finally, it was two in the morning and he was like, ‘Bro, you got some beats?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I got that same beat. I’m telling you, put some melody on it. It’s going to be crazy.'”
