Ransom 2 is the debut studio album by American hip hop producer Mike Will Made It. It is the sequel to his 2014 mixtape Ransom, and was released on March 24, 2017. The album features collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Rae Sremmurd, Big Sean, Lil Wayne, YG, Pharrell Williams, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Chief Keef and others.
On January 4, 2016, Mike Will Made It revealed the cover art for the project while also releasing the first song from the mixtape, titled "By Chance", featuring artists Rae Sremmurd. On January 15, 2016, Mike Will took to Twitter to announce he'd be releasing a song the next day. The following day, "Al Sharpton", featuring Atlanta rapper Future was released. On January 23, 2016, Mike Will Made It took to Twitter once again to announce to his fans that Ransom 2 would be dropping the following Friday on January 29. However come Friday, Mike Will then announced that he had delayed the project in order to obtain a guest feature from long time collaborator Gucci Mane, and also have him host the tape. At that point, Gucci Mane was still serving a three-month prison sentence and the police wouldn't allow him to host the mixtape. This meant working with Gucci Mane wouldn't be possible until he was released from prison on May 26, 2016.
On November 15, 2016, Nicki Minaj released a remix of the hit Mike Will produced song "Black Beatles" via her SoundCloud titled "Black Barbies". The song reached #65 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also awarded the 49th spot on Rolling Stone editor Rob Sheffield's 50 best songs of the year.
