I’ve BEEN waiting on someone to jump on this beat for the longest time.  Chuck, if you’re reading this, you snapped on this track, even though I’m telling you this two years after the fact.

“Y.F.F’ a.k.a. “Young, Fly & Fresh” serves as a dual single for Mikkey Halsted and the return of his younger sister, Miss Criss.  You may remember that both Mikkey and Criss were signed to Cash Money a while back, and while Mikkey has been recording ever since, Crissy took a brief hiatus.  Well, they’re back…

Now these are the type of interviews I like. Here, Status TV interviews Wildstyle of legendary Chicago hip hop group Crucial Conflict. Wildstyle really opens up on this one and speaks on the Cru Con and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony comparisons, the diss tracks and how they briefly unified prior to 2Pac’s death at a Farrakhan conference….
