The producer has been collaborating with the rapper on his follow-up to Voodoo.
Speaking to Billboard, Ronson said that he was "going into the studio... to work a bit on his record, and I have equal parts intimidation and awe and excitement".
He added: "I was pretty much floored when D said that the only two records of the past five to six years that he really listened to a lot were St. Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley and Back To Black (Amy Winehouse).
"I was like, 'I cannot believe I made something that this guy listened to over and over again and looked to for inspiration'."
Ronson's third album Record Collection is due for release in September.
