24: Since we last spoke I know a lot has happen and you have become apart of P.Diddy’s “Hitmen” production team?
Amadeus: Yes sir! First off thanks for having me back for a follow up interview I appreciate it, but yes a lot has happened since we last spoke I’ve worked with a lot more artists and yes I’m the newest member of the TheHitmen/BadBoyManagement!
24: Did you feel any pressure being apart of the team because of what the last “Hitmen” Team had done and provided countless hits for Bad Boy or was it more of you welcoming the challenge?
Amadeus: I mean it was a dream come true because I grew up listening and being a huge bad boy fan for the artists they put out and the Music & Production in general everybody wanted to be apart of Bad Boy and you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t. (lol) You have to realize that before I became apart of the team I already established myself as a well known Multi-platinum record producer working with over 40 artists to this present day so no way at all did I feel any pressure now being apart I was honored though to be chosen to apart of such an historic label & production team that brought you nothing but “Hits”! So definitely expect nothing less from me as an addition to the winning team.
24: What are some of the projects your currently working on?
Amadeus: Day26, P. Diddy’s new album, Trina, Mos Def, I produced a song for Bow Wow called “Anything You Can Do” which is all over the internet and its a song with Bow Wow battling himself Lil Bow Wow its a very Hot & Conceptual record fans were very very impressed by the song but he then went on to say that it didn’t make his new album which I felt was insane and so did he but I’ve been in this business long enough to know not all of the hot records make the album (lol). I went off on a little tangent there sorry. But this new year I’m trying to get on every project that’s coming out I have something for everybody literally everybody just needs to start being more creative and not stressing for name producers only but for producers like myself & others that’s are causing a problem with these tracks cause the kid got “Heat”!
24: You have worked with so many artists is there any particular producer you would like top get together with?
Amadeus: Of course I recently submitted some heat to Dr.Dre’s camp for his new detox album so definitely Dr.Dre, would love to do a collaboration with Kanye, Rodney Jerkins, looking forward to getting in the studio with Diddy & putting down a few hits, T-Pain, Timbaland, Akon and others. I’m a musician so its nothing for me to hook up with anyone of these dope producers and brainstorm together and come up with a smash we all think differently creative wise so when you do collaborations with others it allows for the record to come out even hotter.
24: I personally think that you are under rated and get over looked as a producer as far as to the readers I think the artist know if they want a real banger to hit you up but a lot of the readers should know about you but they don’t especially by your resume which speaks for itself,how do you feel about that?
Amadeus: I totally agree man the way the industry operates sometimes is “Wack” I’ve produced for over 40 artists and still I have trouble reaching people, A&R’s still give me the famous line “I Need More Tracks”, sending people music and they delay on listening to it its crazy but I’m not mad at all it only makes me work harder that’s all they did it to Kanye West and now look (lol) I must admit I’m real reasonable rite now fee wise so If I was ya’ll and I’m speaking to all artists & label A&R’s I’ll get a track from me now cause tomorrow ain’t no telling what that fee is gonna be and the crazy part is its all the same quality heat that you can get now for a reasonable fee. I’ll finish off with this in God’s time I will prosper & excel and its nothing no one can do but respect it.
24: Who are some artists that you would like to work with in the near future?
Amadeus: Thats a long list Jay-z, Beyonce, Usher, T.I., Jeezy, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West. Plies, Rick Ross, Akon, T pain, The Game, Nas and I’ll stop there and who ever else that’s serious about they’re craft and of course has a budget lets work I gotta eat!
24: What was the last beat you heard that made you say to yourself I got to go extra hard after this one?
Amadeus: Kanye West “Barry Bonds” ft Lil Wayne. I went crazy when I first heard that beat very creative & next level.
24: You also have your own company Platinum Boy so tell the readers about what they can expect to hear from your label?
Amadeus: Yes sir.
