When Mannie Fresh looks at producers in Rap today, he sees how his influence has impacted the game.
“I get it from [DJ] Mustard, Mike WiLL [Made-It],” he says during an interview with HipHopDX’s Andre Grant. “Those cats say they grew up on Mannie Fresh. To me, that’s an honor, to see their careers and where they’re at right now, to say like, ‘Hey bro, you was one of my favorites,’ it’s incredible.”
While Fresh can see the influence he’s had, he says there’s nothing wrong with it.
