MIKE WILL MADE IT ANNOUNCES R3SET ALBUM MARCH 20 2026

## THE RESET BEGINS Mike WiLL Made-It announced his return with R3SET, a 15-track album dropping March 20, 2026. The 37-year-old producer, born Michael Len Williams II on March 23, 1989, shared the news through his Instagram post teasing both the album and an accompanying documentary. R3SET serves as Mike WiLL's first album since 2017, breaking a 9-year silence that transformed one of hip-hop's most influential figures. The Atlanta producer lost his hard drive and backup around the time Ransom 2 reached No. 24 on the Billboard 200 in 2017. The album name signifies Mike's ability to start from scratch, referring to an incident 9 years ago when he had his hard drives stolen. Instead of rushing replacements, he paused, and for a hitmaker responsible for shaping the sound of the 2010s, stopping entirely felt risky. ## FROM STOLEN DRIVES TO SONIC RECOVERY In a series of clips from his upcoming documentary, Mike WiLL tells the story of his come-up and reflects on the moment when he lost his trusted hard drive, which sent him into a dark period of his life. Beyond the music, Mike is expanding his portfolio with a documentary slated for this year. The first taste comes through "ROOMS," featuring both NBA YoungBoy and Chief Keef. As far as reports indicate, "ROOMS" marks the first time that YoungBoy and Sosa have worked together. Unconfirmed online reports suggest R3SET will feature André 3000, J. Cole, Future, Pharrell, and others. The 35-year-old avid golfer tee'd up the rollout for the R3SET project with "High3r" featuring Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne over the summer. ## THE BILLION DOLLAR RESUME Mike WiLL's credits include "Black Beatles" and "Powerglide" by Rae Sremmurd, "Mercy" by Kanye West, "No Lie" by 2 Chainz, "Bandz a Make Her Dance" by Juicy J, "Pour It Up" by Rihanna, "Love Me" by Lil Wayne, "Body Party" by Ciara, "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus, "Formation" by Beyoncé, and "Humble" by Kendrick Lamar. He won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song for HUMBLE by Kendrick Lamar, and his work on Beyoncé's Formation was met with critical acclaim. He served "Pour It Up" for RiRi as a single from her 2012 Unapologetic album; the intoxicating club banger cracked the Billboard Hot 100's top 20. As of 2024, Mike Will Made It's net worth is estimated to be around $20 million, stemming from producing numerous hit tracks for top artists and managing his label, EarDrummer Records, which has signed artists like Rae Sremmurd. ## ATLANTA'S SONIC ARCHITECT RETURNS Atlanta remains central to the project, with the Made It Way compound shown in the trailer acting as creative hub, office, and cultural space. His beats never abandoned Southern rhythm even when crossing into pop; instead of adapting to global sounds, global sounds adapted to Atlanta drums. At 36, he sits in a unique position—seasoned enough to have wisdom but young enough to relate to the new wave. Mike WiLL Made-It has already influenced a decade of rap music, and this project asks a bigger question: what does a pioneer sound like after their influence becomes standard? R3SET releases March 20, 2026 with 15 songs through Eardrummer/Giant Music, marking the producer's most significant artistic statement since losing everything and rebuilding from nothing.
