I recently spoke with Brent Kolatalo, a producer/mixer known for his work alongside Kanye West, Future, Lenny Kravitz, and Kendrick Lamar. Some of the covered topics include the following:

• Brent's early days at Berklee and working under Ken Lewis in the 2000s.
• Doing sample replacement and session work on the "College Dropout".
• Not getting credited on famous songs.
• Making records for Future.
• Running his own operation as a producer.
