This Is My Life is the name of the album that’s been in the works for over two years. Big D remembers a beat he heard in Easy Mo Bee’s truck about 10 years ago and would ask for it every time they ran into each other. Once he finally obtained the beat, it was titled “I Rep NY” and the album was in the works. This Is My Life is executive produced by Easy Mo Bee with featured production from Just Blaze and Statik Selektah. Guest features include Rakim, Peter Gunz, Grandmaster Caz (Cold Crush Brothers), Devastating Tito (Fearless Four), Smoothe Da Hustler, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Mic Handz, and Skanks The Rap Martyr.
