“You know I definitely feel like I learned a lot, you know. Even Slim Thug with his situation, he was at Swishahouse and he broke off and started doing his own thing.

Just watching and learning it before I got into it and then when I got into it, it was time to go, you know.”

The latest single from the album, “Ridin” featuring Krayzie Bone, is Number Three on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
