Today, Mike WiLL Made It gifted fans with the release of his highly anticipated Ransom mixtape. He also released a video for "Someone To Love" featuring 2 Chainz, Cap-1 and Skooly. Ransom features guest spots from Big Sean, Lil' Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Chief Keef, Gucci Mane and a slew of up-and-coming artists.
In a recent interview, Mike WiLL called his latest release his version of Dr. Dre's The Chronic, which was coincidently released this same day in 1992. He said he decided to stick with the underground this time around when asked about artists he worked with on the tape.
"People that's coming up in the underground, people that's already been running the underground, people that I work closely with, you know what I'm saying? I feel like it's my version of my Chronic. You know what I'm saying? When Dr. Dre came out with The Chronic, it's something slick like that."
To accompany the mixtape's release, Mike WiLL also dropped a video for "Someone To Love." Comedic Vine sensation DC Young Fly appears at the beginning of the video inviting Mike WiLL out for a night on the town. The beatsmith heads out with Chainz, Cap and Skooly in tow and a turn up soon follows, with plenty of rump shaking, of course.
Check out the clip after the jump.
Ransom is Mike Will Made It's fourth mixtape, his first since 2013's #MikeWiLLBeenTriLL but most certainly not his last. He plans to release a mixtape with Future and his debut album in 2015.
"So for 2015 I feel like we can get back on the 2013 s--t, put out hella music, feeding everybody dope s--t and just continuing to push it forward," Mike WiLL said. "I'm gonna drop my first album next year."
