The way he described that Taio Cruz record is EXACTLY how it feels. Now that’s a real producer

Benny Blanco was 21 when Dynamite was released (yes I wrote his name in capitals, I am down for a fight) and I think that is absolutely incredible because I am struggling to get past college and cant write anything.
