Zaytoven, Sonny Digital and Metro Boomin sat down with Andrew Nosnitsky and Red Bull Music Academy for a fascinating hour-plus interview about their influences, the importance of Gucci Mane, what trap music really means to them and a whole lot more. If youre at all interested in how these guys work, carve out a good chunk of time to watch the whole thing above. Its a must-watch for any rap nerd.

Throughout the discussion, the OG Zaytiggy talks about how important Gucci Mane was, not only as an artist but as a supporter of the young producer at a time when he was really flying by the seat of his pants.

Around the 1:11:50 mark, Zay breaks down just how supportive Guwop can be. Gucci is a guy that promoted me to the fullest. It dont matter where we go. We can go to the studio with Jay Z, he gon talk about me like Im the best producer in the world, and I didnt even have no songs at the time.I didnt have no bigrecords, remembers Zay.

Hed be like, You gotta get beats from Zay! Zaythe best! Timbaland could givehim the beats and hed be like, Nah Timbaland, we dont want your beats. We want to use Zay beats. Itd make me uncomfortable cuz Id be like, Well hold on Gucci, you aint gotta say it like that," he continues to laughter from the crowd.

I give a lot of credit to Gucci because he gave me the confidence to feel like okay, well I am the best producer, to him I am, and hes one of the hottest guysout. So it helped give me the confidence to be who I am, he concludes.
