FG speaks with MTV regarding his first big break.  He divulges that he followed 50’s method of mixtape madness to get discovered.  Now, this technique doesn’t work for everyone, but it sure worked for Freddie. However, Fred’s real rise to the forefront came when the world heard his original material on Midwestboxframe… Either way, the mixtape…

One of my favorite projects last year, without a doubt, was Rashid Hadee’s 808s & Hadee: Chopped Not Screwed.    Some slept, some didn’t.  But for those who were in the know were treated to some classic chopping of Kanye’s 808s & Heartbreak, with dope lyrics from Mr. Hadee, reminiscent of the Native Tongues heydey….

Another “Behind the Scenes” clip from Jay iLLa’s Revenge of the Backpack’s Vol. 2 sessions.  Brandon “n2ition” Riley was on hand, and I’m sure he’s working on the official “BTS” video, but this comes courtesy of iLLa’s flip cam. “Banned From TV” features YP, Skooda Chose, Lungz, MarVo & Que BILLAH all trading bars over…
