While Tony is smokin’ his life away in Amsterdam, he’s not on site to back up Lloyd Banks for his ”Beamer, Benz, or Bentley” performance. Welp, Whoo Kid to the rescue and the two rehearse backstage. Let’s just hope the Haitian Barry White sticks to the turntables. Ha!

Red Cafe and Fab get their Fast And The Furious on through the mean streets of New York. The real question is what took so long for this video to drop?. Oh well, better late than never.

Another funny XXL Freshmen with the ladies on his mind, Pill provided me with a quick talk outside the Nah Right/TSS showcase. He speaks on his close relationship with Freddie Gibbs, his hometown barbecue cover celebration and the possibility of DJ Drama crafting the next mixtape, 1140: The Overdose. And like that… I’m gone. Ha.

Not all interviews are formal. And you know, YN got that thing on him (Flip cam, son). With Kidz In The Hall providing a cosign, here’s one XXL Freshmen who’s ready to sow his royal oats. Ladies get ready for that Fashionably Late. You are appreciated.

Yela explains why he deaded his original idea to follow-up his Trunk Muzik mixtape so quickly. Look out for the TM re-release 0 to 60. And then, major label deal on deck? Hmm.
