Mike Tyson would love to step into the music industry after recently being announced as a featured artist on Madonna's new album.

On the track 'Iconic' along with Chance the Rapper, he revealed that the experience makes him think he'd be a great solo artist.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Mike said: "Doing the song with Madonna makes me think this [music career] could really happen.

"Most guys that come in there drink a bunch of liquor or smoke 100 blunts. I just went in and boom, one take. Everyone thought it was cool."

Though he's going to feature he did admit that the part he recorded for the track was a surprise even for him.

"Madonna calls you and tells you to come somewhere, you go.

"I didn't know what the hell I was going there for. I just go in there and start talking. I'm talking about my life and things that I have endured. I'm saying some really crazy stuff. It was really intense."

Due to the last minute nature of the recording, he completely ad-libbed his addition and took influence from Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

"When I did it, I think about being some guy like [Benito] Mussolini and they're really arrogant, but you try to come from a positive perspective and be uplifting. You watch Mussolini on television -- even though we don't understand what he's saying -- he is so mesmerizing. I look at myself in that way.

"I know people may say 'this guy's a fascist' and all this stuff, but man, you can take positivity from watching him.

"No wonder why Hitler was attracted to him. This guy's a hypnotic figure. There's so much pride behind what he's saying. I'm not even Italian and I feel the pride he's projecting. He had that street swag; he was doing this stuff with his hands and moving his head before it was even hip-hop."
