Welcome to Young Hollywood. com. What's up, guys? Michelle Mari here at Westlake Studios. We're about to go hang out with super producer Alex Da Kid, who is working on some tracks. Let's see what's up.

Hey, guys. What's up?

What's up, Michelle? Take my mic already, huh?

Yeah, that's what I did. So, you can come in, guys. Let's go.

Congratulations. Love the Way You Lie with Rihanna and Eminem is number one. And this is your track. I love the way you lie. You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe when you're with 'em. You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em. Got that warm fuzzy feeling. Yeah, them chills used to get 'em. Now you getting sick of looking at 'em. Eminem, he's basically, you know, the genius of our generation in my opinion. What do you think about the transition he's made as an artist from his old stuff?

I definitely think he's matured as an artist and, you know, grown. Everybody grows. And I think he's always, the reason why he's been so successful is he's always been honest.

So you're also known for B. O. B. Airplanes with Hayley Williams from Paramore, great track. So we're playing Airplanes, saw a young lady. I'm on my way so don't close that gate. And I make it fast then I switch my flight and I'll be right back at it by the end of the night. That wish right now. That wish right now. That wish right now. B. o. B's blown up. How do you feel about him as an artist?

Kind of really proud that he's one being unique and not just doing regular kind of four to the floor stuff that everybody else is doing.

You started producing at 19 and you're from the UK. So tell us how everything started with you.

Uh, basically, um, I was the king of the interns. I was an intern at um MTV, uh, what else is there? Island Records, studios. And I kind of uh, you know, I was figuring out what I wanted to do and uh I kind of realized I didn't want to be I was like a researcher. I kind of realized that I didn't, you know, I wanted to make the music.

What's your key to keeping it fresh all the time? Cuz you always have to be innovative and have something new going on.

I think I come from a diff a very different kind of cosmopolitan kind of background. My mom's white and my dad's Jamaican and I grew up yeah, I grew up in like a school where everybody was different from different places. So I kind of carry that wherever I go. So I'm kind of influenced by different cultures, I suppose. Mhm. Um, I listen to a lot of different types of music.

Well, you've worked with so many different artists, so many genres. So who would you love to work with that you haven't worked with before?

Uh, Coldplay. Yeah. I love 30 Seconds to Mars. My favorite band. Yeah. J, obviously. Uh, Alicia Keys. Uh, Sunny Any cute lady would be good. Uh. Take, hmm. Hmm. This is a kick drum. Different kick drums. You just pick one you like. Then you just like do a rhythm that you like. It's like Prince. This is going to be a long day. That's a good one. All right. All right. So I'm going to I'm going to record. Record time. Let's go. That was a masterpiece. That's something that could be on MIA's record. I like it. It's got soul to it. That will set the clubs on fire, I think.

Hey, this is Alex Da Kid. I'm here chilling with Young Hollywood. Um, I just want to say thanks to all the fans that bought Love the Way You Lie and Airplanes. We're number one now, so in a few different countries, so keep it locked here to Young Hollywood. Peace.
