Nah we can keep his shit west coast on this one. Love his work on C-Bo's Enemy Of The State. Really complimented Daz's production well on D&YG. Really wish Daz would get back with him to mix and mastered his albums.

i started rappin' at around 9, and when i say started i mean writing and the whole nine.
i was always surrounded by music through out my life,
and at around 13 my step dad Mike Dean started working for rap-a-lot.
i've seen rappers come and go, rise and fall. i myself have had label offers, none good enough to take.
shortly after releasing my first album independently the distrubution company went out of business, and basically left me screwed.
it was at that point i went back to the street with mixtapes featuring me, Tex Mex, and a bunch of the homeboys from the Camp.
years later i still wreck it with Tex, we hooked up with Big Harold Cash and formed the War Camp.
Big Harold just dropped a solo project and Tex and i are workin' on a few things ourselves.

It's his best! NO competition (in my book.)
Some might say C-Bo Gas Chamber is better.....
But for me Mike's beats was a big step up for C-BO and fit his style perfect.

Mike Dean is a great producer, but he does more coke than any dude I know. His nose is a fucking vacuum. Thanks for the link to the Chill Spot. Last I heard, Mike was working with Kayne. He does his best work with the west and Rap A Lot though. Anyone know what happened to Mike's 2Pac tape? I'm still looking for his Hell 4 A Hustla Remix.

there was a track made back in like 2001

you can hear it on Kurupt's "G-TV" during the Bad Azz freestyle part in the background

from what you can hear it's a hard track no doubt

Nah man, I am just saying. He's a great dude and great producer. His drug use makes his music great. It's like Dre and his chronic. Same thing for Dean and whatever drug he is doing at the moment. For example, when Kurupt was on Death Row, he made his best music over there because he got the best chronic over there. ;)

UGK's final studio album, 4 Life, is due out March 31, and for everyone involved it's been an emotional journey. Back in 2007, Pimp C was found dead in his hotel room, the result of an accidental overdose of codeine medication combined with a pre-existing sleep condition, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. 4 Life is both UGK's last studio album and a tribute to Pimp C.

Mike Dean, who mixed the upcoming album, said Bun B and Pimp C originally wanted their 2007 LP Underground Kingz to be a double-disc effort, so naturally there was a lot of unused material left over from the sessions. A lot of this material makes up 4 Life, which includes both Bun B and Pimp C on every track.

"It was an extremely emotional experience for me," Dean said of mixing the record. "I worked with Pimp C since he was 14 years old, and he was one of my best friends."

Dean also said that the album includes some of UGK's "nastiest raps ever." And while Bun B originally told MTV News that it wasn't likely the album would feature guest appearances, now there are quite a few, including Snoop Dogg, E-40, B Legit, Lil Boosie, Webbie, Too Short, Raheem Devaughn, Sleepy Brown, Akon and Big Gipp.

Production on the album came from Mannie Fresh, Akon, Cory Mo — who Dean says was a good friend of C's — and others, many of whom are up-and-coming producers who were protégés of Pimp C.

The first single, "Da Game Been Good to Me," has been out for a few weeks, but Dean said the next single is likely to be "Still on the Grind," featuring Raheem Devaughn. He also mentioned two of his other favorite tracks on the album, "Steel Your Mind," featuring Too Short and Snoop Dogg, and "She Luv," which features just the classic raps of Pimp C and Bun B.

The entire album includes a lot of singing by Pimp C, but without Auto-Tune — a method that has become increasingly popular (and some say abused) in the industry. Giving us Pimp C's probable reaction to applying Auto-Tune to his vocals, Dean laughed and said, "[He] would've come up from the dead and given me a bitch slap!"

Dean is really excited about this album, even though it was an emotional challenge to finish it without Pimp C. It did, however, create a new bond between him and Bun B. "We had to make sure the album was extra super-tight because this is UGK's final album," he explained. "Pimp C was usually the one at the studio overlooking the producing and recording, so it was a whole different vibe for Bun B to be doing it — and exciting for him, in a way ... though emotional."

Now that Mike Dean is finished with 4 Life, he will be producing and mixing part of Bun B's upcoming solo album, as well as Mike Jones' new album Voice of the Streets (Dean is also shooting the video for "On Top of the Covers," a track off of Streets), Slim Thug's upcoming Boss of All Bosses, and Clipse's upcoming Till the Casket Drops.
