Mike WiLL Made It is in the midst of one of the best runs of any producer in the past few years. He's put out numerous hit records, dropped a mixtape and the first single to his debut album, and was the driving force behind Miley Cyrus, the one-woman twerking phenomenon that swept the country. Now just two months into the year, Mike WiLL already made some noise by being named the executive producer of Future's highly anticipated sophomore album, Honest, as well as being the producer behind Rick Ross and Jeezy's beef-squashing, mega single "War Ready" and Diddy's go-to man for his upcoming album, rumored to be called MMM.

At Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy Gala, Mike WiLL Made It revealed that he's currently working on Future's next album, putting all his energy into executive producing Honest, which is slated to boast some major guest features.

"We have some good collaborations on there like Nicki Minaj, Drake, Kanye West, Pharrell, Pusha T. It’s a real dope album and it should be eventful when it comes out," Mike WiLL Made It told Rolling Stone on the red carpet. "We’re trying to figure out the exact date right now."

Until then, WiLL is not only blessing others' records with his wicked chops, but he's also brewing something of his own. The follow-up to his recent #MikeWiLLBeenTriLL EP will also offer a star-studded line-up of guest appearances.

"I feel like my album has to be so eventful. It has to have classic collaborations," he said. "I’ve been working with Kendrick, Nicki, Future, Rick Ross, Drake, everybody. I’m trying to figure out what songs make the cut. My album has to be the 10 hottest songs. It has to be like the Now CD. It’s going to be called Established in 1989 Part 3 because I drew up three other mixtapes earlier, Part 1, Part 2, Part 2.5."
