Mike Free: When I made “I Don’t fukk With You,” I was kind of disappointed, because I felt that some popular records had been ripping off our sound. So literally, like that same night, I went into the studio. I planned to do it. I planned on making something big. Originally I think Justin Bieber was supposed to have it; he had posted a video of a snippet and everything, where it was him doing the song. They ended up not taking it and Big Sean got the song, and I’m glad, because we ended up getting a really strong record for hip-hop.
I just wanted to come back at it: “Hey, y’all think you can do this? Here’s something different.” I love E-40. He’s a legend, man. Me and E-40 actually got some records out right now on his new album. I did “Money Sack” featuring Lil Boosie. I’ve been listening to Boosie since 2006; he had a song with David Banner. He had energy, he was fly. I’ve always loved Boosie. I did “That’s Right” featuring Ty Dolla Sign.
