(Photos) Ty Dolla $ign’s First NYC Hosting [New York, NY]

I hit Ty’s show in Philly earlier this week, and he told me he was coming to NYC to tape an episode of Jimmy Fallon (big things!), so I reached out to my girl J. Rose and got him a quick hosting in the city.

No one introduced us as I pulled up a chair next to him for our interview, but as I sat down, the “Paranoid” singer didn’t seem to mind. He was excited to get feedback from a new face. “Did you like the show?” he’d ask me, before I had to admit I only caught the last song. (Thanks, Delta!) As we start chatting about my trip from New York and how I almost didn’t make it, YG and DJ Mustard enter the room and make a beeline toward their longtime friend/Pu$haz Ink crew member.
