Xavier Dotson, better known as Zaytoven, is an American disk jockey and record producer born in Germany. He was raised in San Francisco but later moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, he has worked with Gucci Mane extensively, contributing at least one song on every one of his albums, and doing many mixtapes with him. He has also worked with other notable Atlanta artists, such as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, Gorilla Zoe, Young Jeezy, OJ Da Juiceman, Future, Doe B, Usher, Migos (for their Hot 100 hit "Versace"), and other non-Atlanta artists such as Nicki Minaj, producing hundreds of songs in total. He won a Grammy Award in 2011 for his contribution to Usher's Raymond vs. Raymond album, as a co-producer and writer for the single "Papers" along with Sean Garrett.
Michael Len Williams II (born March 23, 1989), professionally known as Mike Will Made It (often stylized as Mike WiLL Made-It) or simply Mike Will, is an American record producer and songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known for producing trap beats for several Southern hip hop artists as well as for producing several hit singles, such as "Mercy" by GOOD Music, "No Lie" by 2 Chainz, "Bandz a Make Her Dance" by Juicy J, "Pour It Up" by Rihanna, Faded by Mariah Carey, "Love Me" by Lil Wayne, "Body Party" by Ciara and "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus, among others. He has released four mixtapes while his debut album is long delayed.
Michael Williams was born in Marietta, Georgia, the youngest of three children with two older sisters. Mike Will's mother was in a gospel group, singing for Dottie Peoples, when Mike was young and according to Mike Will, his uncle was an accomplished guitar player. Growing up, Mike Will was athletic, participating in a number of sports, including basketball, baseball, and football, with dreams of becoming a professional athlete. As a teenager, Mike Will first developed his talent for music by re-playing popular instrumentals that he heard on the radio while he and his friends would freestyle to them. In a number of interviews, Mike WiLL has mentioned, in particular, re-playing the instrumental for "Still Fly", a popular song by the southern rap group Big Tymers, on a Casio brand keyboard, and has also mentioned re-playing the song "Young'n (Holla Back)" by New York rapper Fabolous on production equipment at a local music store.

The trap beat god Zaytoven making a beat with Mike Will Made it. Mike Will sent a drum & bass loop for Zaytoven to build melodies around. Zay added his signature flute sound as well as the toy piano. These two have been collabing on some dope records lately including "gucci mane waybach" & "2 chainz MFN right"This sounds like a type beat 2 chainz & gucci mane would download.

Frannie Kelley | December 12, 2016 — Gucci Mane's smile makes you feel like there's still some good in the world. He's really earned it, and that thing is infectious. We asked him to come to NPR because we wanted to be a part of the victory tour he's been on this year: In the past six months or so, Gucci Mane was released early from the federal penitentiary; he proposed to his girlfriend on the kiss cam at a Hawks game, and she said yes; he's releasing a total of three albums, all over which he celebrates his newly committed sobriety; he and Courtney Love look like they get along; and he remade "Jingle Bells." In this Tiny Desk concert, Gucci Mane performed with just his longtime producer and friend, Zaytoven, on piano. Their version of stripped-down is a minimal backing track and plenty ...

The churchgoing Atlanta rap veteran who has shared studio sessions with Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Future, The Migos, and more for a decade let 4sho Magazine into his home for this dope interview!

http://www.vladtv.com - "It's funny, I think God done put me around almost the craziest people that He can find, really. Like, the people who do the total opposite of what I do. But, being in that position is what makes me unique," offers Zaytoven during a recent sit-down with VladTV. Dedicated to his craft of manipulating sounds to create poignant Hip-Hop tracks, the veteran DJ and producer speaks candidly about his devotion to his faith as it relates to his profession. Secure with his fortified relationship with the Lord, the ardent Christian who treats his body as a temple explains that even though he doesn't drink, smoke, or use profanity, he's been able to successfully operate in an environment that's filled with those indulgences without giving in to temptation. Even though the "V...
Between working with Gucci Mane and Future, producer Zaytoven explains the difference between the two stars' sound and why the What a Time to Be Alive rapper likes to release back-to-back projects. During an interview with DJ Vlad, Zaytoven compared his working relationship with Gucci to the likes of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. "We created a sound that belongs in the rap game right now. What we have together is something unbreakable, like a Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. We have created something so special that I don't think it's going anywhere." Further, the producer talked about Future creating his orchestrated sound and why he chose to feed fans with new records continuously. "Just us two alone have done 100 songs. It's cool to let all that music sit there on the hard drive...but I think the fan...

http://www.vladtv.com - Famed producer Zaytoven has seen many wins in his career. From 1999 to today, the producer has worked with the likes of music's finest like Nicki Minaj, Usher, The Migos, Gucci Mane and more. In this exclusive interview with VladTV, Zaytoven reveals how he came to reach such successful wins and how he managed to do so as an independent artist in the music industry. First, Zay explains how working extensively on your craft can help cultivate a distinct sound. While he didn't reach success until 2004, he says the time doesn't exist anymore for new acts because of viral fame. Making beats everyday and showcasing his work with artists helped his name build buzz. Another tip Zaytoven recommends is staying true to yourself. Following the independent path inside and o...

Zaytoven stopped by VladTV to talk with us about Gucci's release, his weight loss, how Gucci recorded songs while behind bars, and much much more. Zaytoven explained he knew that Gucci was going to be released almost two or three weeks before. Vlad went into Gucci Mane's dramatic weight loss, and Zaytoven explained, "He's been locked up for three years, Gucci is always thinking forward so he was probably thinking how can I shock the people.. make the attention on me... He came out all the way in shape." Zaytoven also talked about how Gucci Mane wrote 1000 songs, "He'll call me and rap me a song.. he'd be like 'Zay hang up I finna call right back and leave you a voicemail with me rapping on it...'". He and Gucci perfected the pre-cording process while he was in prison. None of Gucci's jail...
