Arthur McArthur Speaks On Producing For Rick Ross’ “Rich Forever” Mixtape

    Producer Arthur McArthur got his feet wet in the mainstream game by co-producing Drake’s “Uptown” with Boi-1da, later helming beats for Big Sean and Stat Quo. His latest feat comes in landing two placements on Rick Ross’ Rich Forever mixtape, dropping today, an opportunity that came about from working closely with DJ Khaled and the Maybach Music Group camp.

    “I’ve been building with DJ Khaled and MMG for a bit,” he told MissInfo.tv. “I sent over some records, they were feeling them so I kept them coming and at this point I’ve got a bunch of music over there. I’m flying out to Miami in the next few weeks to build with them further.”

    McArthur, who produced “MMG Untouchable” with Boi-1da and “Mine Games” featuring Kelly Rowland, says that he didn’t work directly with Ross, but crafted the beats in his Toronto, Canada studio.

    “We made that at my studio in Toronto. A bunch of artists actually wanted that beat but it ended up with Ross, it may be on his album as well,” said McArthur, who spoke on getting a feature from Kelly Rowland on one of the tracks. “That was a nice surprise. Kelly Rowland is really dope so I was happy to see he put her on it. That was great that he put her on it, I knew it needed a singer on it but I couldn’t put my finger on who would do it justice.”

    1. TO ALL THE YOUNG KIDS WHO ARE WAITING TO LISTEN TO SOME OF WILLIAMS NEW MATERIAL PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER HE IS A 35 YEAR OLD ENTERTAINER IN THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS DON’T BUY INTO IT AND BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEAR

      ENJOY IT CAUSE HE WONT BE HERE MUCH LONGER

    2. Arthur McArthur is really dope! Toronto is the hotspot for rap now. Drake etc. On the underground tip – Admiral Crumple is dropping “Dark Sentences” April 2012 – Dark, hardcore rap with next level rhymes. Search “Back at it” by Admiral Crumple on youtube. Crazy video, Kids and girls chilling rapping in Downtown Toronto, over a grimey beat, rocking Ralph Lauren Polo and Custom Chains – all independently too!

    3. It figures that someone like ross would use a knock-off of Noah-40. Noah is one of the best producers in the game, making hot beat after hot beat for Drake’s platinum singles. Arthur McArthur is just an imposter, much like Officer Ricky himself. Rick Ross is on the decline while YMCMB is the future of hip hop.

      1. Are you serious? YMCMB are clowns. L Wayne is singing now, what the fuck? Future of SHIT. Arthur is killing it with real, hard, hip hop. Today its Rick Ross, Big Sean and Tyga, and tomorrow its Eminem, Jay Z and Kanye..and if Weezy is lucky, maybe Arthur will throw him a bone!!! BRUP!!

    4. i mean hes good,but without Boi-1da helping with his beats,he kinda sucks to admit
      Listen to Uptown
      then listen to that song with Kelly Rowland on it,you hear the quality beat production drop dramatically

      1. Yo Uptown was years ago, the man has mad skills. Don’t hate on Arthur, he is the true fucking talent in that collab! Boi-1da probably just put his name on it, whereas Arthur did the majority of that beat. The man is re-creating hip hop
