So when I went to his studio, it was like a factory to me, and I respected his hustle so much as a hustler myself, I couldn’t see a hustle like that and not get involved. Back then, everybody was doing ‘Gangsta Grillz’ with DJ Drama and I hadn’t yet had one and Drama was my homie. That was a tape where the music was powerful, the branding was powerful and the messages were powerful. That joint is legendary! It was the start of my brand without that mixtape I don’t know if I or any of my people would be here today. My favourite mixtape ever would have to be my very own Cocaine Muzik, the first one.
