In this interview, Arshan speaks with 26-year-old Atlanta-based producer, Mexikodro, who is a legendary figure in underground rap. His first placement was “Plug” by Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, and Rich the Kid, which has almost 40 million plays on SoundCloud alone. Dro also produced “From Florida With Love” off of Drake’s 2020 project, Dark Lane Demo Tapes.
During their conversation, Arhshan and Mexikodro discuss how Dro rarely does interviews, how Atlanta always had its own sound, how popular Gucci Mane was growing up in Atlanta, and he says the “underground legend” title is a blessing. Dro reveals that his first placement was “Plug” by Carti, Kodak, and Rich the Kid, and that he regrets not taking his career more seriously at first. Dro also denies solely creating the “Plugg” genre, giving props to the rest of his production group, BeatPluggz, as well. He says the subgenre “pluggnb” is “fire” and “unique” before revealing that he also raps.
Dro then gives advice on how to avoid burnout as a producer (take breaks) and describes his longest self imposed hiatus from producing (3 months), before describing the “mind-blowing” moment when he realized Drake rapped on his beat for “From Florida With Love”. He also tells the story of when Drake joined his IG live before talking about how he loves the new generation of rap and follows the underground. Dro reveals that he’s working with Bktherula and Matt Ox, and he also listens to Cochise and Lancey Foux. Arshan tells Dro how KA$HDAMI revealed he wanted Dro to produce his next album, as well as how Unotheactivist and Madeintyo have a song named “Mexikodro''. They end their conversation with Dro giving advice to young creatives: cut off anything holding you back, and you have to leave the streetlife to elevate and be successful. Kids Take Over is based in Vancouver, Canada.

Broke boi
@@luvutokyo1683 classic
Jugg rich
You should’ve told him about me
Anything Diego Money stop playing with the bull
this guy was really big for carti’s early career, props to him 💯
Made some classics
Sad him carti not cool no mo
Naa bro most rappers careers during the underground scene
@@zain7241 yea but out of all them, carti is the biggest artist.
@@Goop00 What happened between them I thought they was coo
shout to dro for giving the whole beatpluggz group they flowers. Most people credit Dro with creating the sound but stupidxool and poloboyshawty been here since the beginning too.
& Corey Lingo, A$att, BeatPlugg Two. They needa make a better plugg doc 2 really represent the group.
DEF
@@JXSHFIGUEROA niggas don't even know bout Corey lingo smh
TrapMoneyBenny created the sound.
@@lieutenantcandlewax you're not wrong. Gleesh was on them plugg beats before they were invented (also water sounds very plugg-ish)
I met MexikoDro about 2 1/2 years ago while I was an intern at Doppler Studios (Atlanta), for the label StreamCut. I was working the front desk as he walked into the lobby for a session and he initiated a conversation telling me about his production company and how he’s a producer but then eventually asked me about my creative endeavors and what I’d like to do. This was in a space where it was common and almost expected for the clients who attended sessions at Doppler, to be either snobbish or stuck-up or just didn’t care to interact with the “help” (engineers, interns, other employees) respectfully. MexikoDro definitely gets my interest as a lover of music & entertainment 👌🏾
Everyone's got something good to say about him, rare to find a succesful artist that stays humble, especially one that came up the hard way like dro
thats some real shit. 2 1/2 years ago i wouldnt have understood a single word of that atlantean language he was speaking. guess its easier when u live there
Easily one of the most legendary interviews for a LONG time
🙌🏽
Bro got Drake to hop on a Plugg beat he already made it in life nothing left to accomplish
Drake gotta see this and do another one with Dro
the fact that anyone on a level like drake's even thought about hoppin on a plugg beat is insane by itself imo
dro such a humble pioneer
❗️
Mexikodro one of the reasons I started making beats
dro is so curical to the underground and what it became. we wouldnt have a lot of these rappers without him n da influence he got
ong, and the whole plugg wave is big in countries like brazil, russia and france it's a worldwide movement
"im with dro, got that pack, sell it for the low" shoutout Dro & KTO.
Lot of people been waiting for this

6:17 Dros “Down Bad Ep” was dope he wasn’t just rappin on his own shi he had SenseiATL, Cashcache, Dylvinci & more producing on it & 2 songs wit tony shhnow

@@startervisions ong his new album one of my favs that released this year
He needs to drop more music of him rapping, because his shit one of a kind
Damn...he said Rich Kidz
That's some Futuristic Swag era stuff that most people don't remember...
Mexikodro is mad humble. I fucks with his "Downbad" EP! This man's voice got too much pain.
