My homie Fred Bear from iKeepsIt100.com reached out, and had me come in to the studio to answer “21 Questions” for his site. This was hella fun!

(Video) Marisa Mendez x Joe Budden for IFWT
I stopped by the studio to visit my guy Joey, and decided to ask him about the Slaughterhouse album that’s coming together since the boys signed to Eminem’s Shady Records label earlier this year.
Yesterday, MTV announced the album title would be Monster, but Joe tells us that’s not the case. Pardon the quality – videography isn’t my thing. LOL.

I FINALLY GOT TO MEET LIL WAYNE! DYING!
Tune kicked off the second leg of his I Am Music tour in Providence, RI, so Karen and I drove out and hung out backstage with the guys. I also got a video of Nicki Minaj‘s lapdance, which you can watch below!

(Photos + Video) Me Doing Misc. Cool Shit – 2010
Went to Miami for Superbowl and hit the studio with French Montana and T-Pain, assisted Jae Millz for a few months so did some cool stuff, got my song on HipHopDX (listen here!), made a random video lipsyncing to Nicki Minaj‘s “Bottoms Up” that went viral (watch below), dropped by Angela Yee‘s show on Shade 45 a few times and hit a few clubs and concerts with some cool people.

(Photos + Video) Welcome Home, Weezy! [Las Vegas, NV]
In late October, Karen called me and told me she was going to go to Vegas in a couple of weeks, because Wayne would be making his first post-prison appearance there as a surprise to Drake, whose tour was stopping there at the time.
Being new to IFWT and of course having love for the YMCMB guys, I had to join, and we made a fun little vacay out of it!
Wayne ran out and surprised Drake during “Miss Me” (and he really had no clue…the whole camp told him all day Weezy isn’t coming – and then he popped up! I knew all day though and it was KILLING me not to tweet it!) I caught a few surprise people backstage as well – Lisa Raye amongst them. Check out some footage and pics below!

(Photos) Launching InFlexWeTrust.com
In September 2010, I stopped by Hot 97 to visit a couple of the friends I had made while interning there the year before. My internship on Flex’s show hadn’t been renewed in the summer of ‘09 because they really had no use for me, but I had maintained relationships with a few of the people that worked there. As I was hanging out and talking to them that night, Flex approached me, having remembered me from the year prior. He never knew my name when I interned (LOL), but asked me now and also asked if I was any good with computers and writing. I quickly said yes, and he asked if I wanted to blog for his brand new website, InFlexWeTrust.com, which had launched about 3 weeks prior. Of course I happily accepted, and the rest is history! I had no idea how to blog, but I called up Karen that night and she gave me a quick run-through of WordPress. From there, I figured it the f*ck out!
Above are a few pics from some of the early events: Kanye’s Hot 97 takeover, the IFWT launch concert at BB King’s with Joe Budden, Jae Millz, Freeway and a bunch more, artists stopping by the station (for Kiss FM…as Hot 97 can’t have guests in that building after 5pm ever since the G-Unit shooting), on set of Flex’s MTV2 sneaker show with Fab, looking like a creep with French and Nicki at a show Flex DJ’d (LOL), the IFWT logo on the Knicks jumbotron and more!
(Photos + Video) French Montana’s Assistant
Back in December of 2008, a few of my friends were over my house and played a video from YouTube with Max B featuring a guy named French Montana, “Disturbia Money.” Of course I knew Max from my Dip Set days, but I’d only heard the name French Montana a couple of times and had no idea who he was. After seeing the video, I thought he was so funny and pretty dope, and wanted to see if I could work with him and get his name out more. I found out that weekend that he’d be hitting Jersey Girls with Max, so I went and met up with him, asked if he wanted help and the rest is history!
Here are a few pics from different dope things: his first interview with FADER (big shout to Felipe on that!), Max passed out LOL, French playing “Straight Cash” for T-Pain at the Hit Factory in MIA in Pain’s car, my first blog shout out LOL, the “NY Minute” shoot, random kids asking for his autograph… (I’m positive they didn’t know who he was though, LOL.)
