How important are cosigns from Bigga Rankin and DJ Khaled today?
The way the industry is going, cosigning is everything. It’s like when you’re trying to get a job and you know somebody at the job and he puts a good word in with the boss, nine times out of ten, you’re going to get that job. I had to get noticed. But after you grind and grind and grind on your own, people have no choice but to cosign you. The people see your name and you’re not a joke anymore. When you have big name people saying that you’re the truth, the people are going to listen. Cosigning is everything in this game. You really can’t move without cosigns in today’s game. How important was your first mixtape, Crown Me, with DJ Scream? That was what jumped it all off. I work with the Hittmen DJs like Greg Street and DJ Scream. At the time, DJ Scream was getting money to host other people’s mixtapes and I hit him like, “Let’s make it happen.” Scream’s not an asshole like most DJs, He made it happen and we did about 2,500 to 5,000 copies of that. That’s really what started it all off
