Read moreKXNG Crooked, aka Crooked I, shared his thoughts on the highly publicized beef between Meek Mill and Drake, whom the Slaughterhouse emcee said he’s been a fan of for a long time. When asked about who he thinks won the battle, Crooked said that it was clear Drake studied out the situation, while he believes that Meek’s response sounded rushed. The “YODO” emcee then pointed out that Meek won in a big way with his claims of Drake ghostwriting his songs, which Crooked said took major points away when it comes to real hip-hop fans. However, the celebrated lyricist said that he’s still a fan of Drake despite the ghostwriting rumors. Hit play to hear the whole interview above.

Read morePaul Wall is currently at the height of powers. He’s come a long way since “Still Tippin,’” but he is still true to his roots, and that’s what his new album Slab God is all about. We recently sat down with Paul to talk the album, a funk/soul-inspired, trap-induced ode to the car known in Texas as a slab. He explained that a car must pass a series of qualifications before it can be considered Slow Low And Bangin. Music is integral to the slab experience, and he wanted to make some music you could knock in the slab. Ridin’ music!! Paul believes he brought his A-game in terms of metaphor, punch line, simile, & delivery and hopes you can enjoy Slab God whether or not you drive a slab. “Hands down, greatest album I ever made.”
