HYPETRAK TV: The Musical Mind of Mike Dean

We're sharing our exclusive interview with Mike Dean for the latest edition of HYPETRAK TV. Speaking to Mike Dean from the comforts of his smoke-filled home studio, we spoke with the revered veteran about his career, Kanye, his next moves and more. Instead of simply taking about his creative process, Dean allowed us an exclusive look at exactly how he creates. Plus, he shared some stories only someone with his pedigree could be capable of experiencing. You can watch the Mike Dean edition of HYPETRAK TV above.

Dude is so underrated...started noticing him years ago only cause of reading production credits

[@Antonio66278]

His guitar solo on Kanye's Devil in a new dress is magical.

[@t.butler8714]

u ain't neva lied!!!!

[@hunggarchristian]

This is the genius that played the guitar solo on "Hold My Liquor" genius.

[@onetwothree257]

Kanye West's partnership with Mike Dean is one of the greatest partnerships in the history of entertainment, not just music. The material they put out is amazing.

[@Moon-hd8ry]

Dude is truely living the dream. Humble surroundings amidst stars, good tree, old and still rocking fitteds while jamming out to music all day. You can't ask for much more seriously. He's just chillin...

[@me42523]

I grew up out with Mike, I remember watching his garage bands at his house, he played very different music back then.

[@632rebeleazy]

Throughout all the 90's I would see Mike Deen on Scarface's albums and I just thought he is so underrated and I also thought he was black.
Anyhow he is a legend and I think better than Dre!

[@davismotomiya6420]

Mike dean's sound is godly AF idc

[@renegonzalez6306]

LIVING LEGEND!

[@2nang4dis]

i love the humbleness

[@x_july_o]

i want to be his apprentice

[@blackult1]

this is the hidden genius behind kanye. if kanye was on his own he could have never made yeezus

[@t.butler8714]

then he would probably be still on top then cause yeezus was considered a flop

[@blackult1]

Omniscient Jack lol considered a flop by who? not me. not lots of kanye fans. its mixed.

[@AKIRTV9]

without Kanye, there would be no Yeezus. Mike Dean is as equally important to Kanyes music as the man himself. Mike is simply more behind the scenes. But you're also forgetting the talents Kanye has himself

[@andyberettas7537]
