Mike Will Made-It shares five fun facts about Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA” and his album Damn. Keep watching to see what they are!
Mike Will Made-It: Hey, yo. It’s Mike Will Made-It, and these are five things you don’t know about “DNA.”
No. 1: I wrote that song, OK. I’m playing with you. Y’all didn’t know I made that in Swae Lee’s backyard. They had this little shed. I don’t know what that shed was for, you know what I’m saying, because it was real small, but we used to have, like, a little setup in there. When I made that beat, I was just thinking, like, man, this would be like a big performance record, like, Beyoncé, or, like, somebody big could do this, and whoever do arenas or stadiums. I never sent it to them. I only sent it to Kendrick. He ended up hearing the beat and liking the beat.
Another thing you probably didn’t know that me and Kendrick were already cool for seven years, but we just never had a song. We never landed a song. Probably gave him 1,000 beats before. I gave him beats for Good Kid, m.A.A.d City, To Pimp a Butterfly and then Damn. It’s, like, he ended up calling me and told me, like, “Yo, I’ve been going in.” He sent me, like, a little snippet video. “I’m like, damn bro, I’m about to be in L.A. in like, a week. Like, Imma pull up on you,” and he’s, like, “Call me when you get there.” So I came to the studio, and then he let me hear “Humble,” he let me hear “DNA.” He let me hear “XXX.”

Jessie Murph’s That Ain’t No Man That’s The Devil comes out this Friday, and the singer shares her Amy WInehouse inspo for her new music. She also talks about her collab with Jelly Roll on “Wild Ones,” her Sexyy Red pre-show ritual and more!
Jessie Murph:I just hope they’re … they can feel, like, the emotion behind it, because there’s a lot of emotion behind it. I’d say it’s like the first one … of the first times I’ve, like, fully come into my artistry.
Hey, y’all, it’s Jessie Murph, and you’re watching Billboard News.
I’d say it’s my most authentic music yet. It’s definitely, like, straight from the soul. Like, everything I’m saying is stuff that I, like, went through and just felt like I needed to get out ’cause there’s a lot of, like, anger, there’s a lot of sadness, there’s a lot of different emotions in there. But I don’t know, this album was such a process of, like, healing for me personally, but sonically, it’s a little different from all my other stuff. A lot of it was, like, more inspired by Amy Winehouse. I think I’ve always just like resonated with her, like, lyrically, and I think her voice has so much like soul in it. This project, not even, like, specifically by Amy Winehouse, I think, like, soul in general has been really inspiring to me lately. But yeah, and hers is, like soul, but it’s, like, darker. And I really love that.
Probably this one quote, “I Hope It Hurts.” The vocals are really big. It’s super soulful and just a very, like, painful song. And I love it.
So much fun. Best dude I’ve ever met, seriously, such a good guy.

Yes, I was working on this album which took a lot of time, effort and love. And I’m very excited that my fans and the public will get to listen to what I’ve been working on for three years.
Oh, that must be really exciting. And I love the colors that you have in it, you know the sonic transitions also. What’s the story behind it?
Yeah, so I have this phrase that says “Le Clique is the family, Rockstar life is the movement.” So basically, rockstar life is my movement and Le Clique is like my crew, you know? My company that I will be working with talents in the future and all that. So you know, it’s just my new step in my career, you know?
