The interview is roughly four years old and it's interesting to watch a Young Khalifa, before the fame, tattoos and Amber Rose, giving an interview where he talks about grinding to get his first deal with Warner Bros. Records.

Of course, Wiz's deal with Warner didn't pan out back then, but he eventually ended up down the hall at Atlantic Records.

Four years and a gold selling Rolling Papers album later, the Wizzle Man has turned out alright.

Watch the interview here:

"Gucci Gucci" star rapper Kreayshawn received a major co-sign yesterday when Drizzy Drake called into Green Lantern's Invasion Radio show during Kreay's interview.

“I honestly get excited when new things happen in hip-hop and when I heard ‘Gucci Gucci,' I heard the flows, I was excited before I even knew who she was,” Drake said of Kreayshawn.

“And you know I got to hear a little bit more of the music beyond that and then to meet her and the energy that she has is great. She's just a great person. She's good people. That's my dog.”

Drake went on to offer a chance to collaborate, along with taking a moment to flirt with the female emcee.

“Anytime she's ready. I got bars on deck for that,” Drake said before calling her a "little cutie pie."

“You're not so bad yourself there, Mr. Regularly Handsome,” Kreayshawn responded.

Earlier this year Kreayshawn signed a million dollar deal with Columbia Records, and plans to release her debut album later this year.

Drake's sophomore album Take Care is due on October 24th.

Listen to Drake's call-in to Invasion Radio here:

“We had it ready to go on New Years, but we didn't have the Nas verses yet and people had been waiting so long that we didn't wanna do it like that.”

Leave it to Nas to keep material on hold.  First it was waiting on a verse on Raekwon's Only Bulit 4 Cuban Linx 2, to recreate “Verbal Intercourse”, then an alleged verse for Jay Z and now Jay Electronica with Act II: The Turn (Patients of Nobility).

As Hip Hop waited for the project between Jay Electronica and Just Blaze to drop on New Year's and it didn't, one of the reasons has finally come to the surface.

There is hope, however, as the duo were finally able to grab what they needed from Nas and finish the project, which they say is done and should actually be dropping any day now.  They are already in the process of creating another project.

Catching up with DJ Green Lantern's Invasion radio, the duo also spoke on a three way deal with Decon and Electronica's audio-visual project and trying to maintain the independence that they have built such momentum from.

"We started this out independently, so before we get into bed really with even entertaining any majors, we want to finish this grind independently cause that's where it started at.  Some people that start out indie, somebody throws a million dollars at them and they jump.  It's like, ‘I don't need your million dollars.'  We good.

Jay also addresses his rant on Twitter which was actually just some line taken from his song “Swagger Jackson's Revenge” and dealing with those that choose to bring negativity in his direction.

“I'm the kind of dude [where] I feel like I always come in peace.  You don't have to like me, but I come in peace.  We don't have to like each other, but peace.  So if you at a show sayin ‘Boo' in the audience, F*ck Me?  F*ck You because I come in peace.”

“Turn off the beat man, turn off the beat.”

Canibus is a rapper whose career never catapulted to where it should have gone due to his inability to fully embrace and utilize his talent.

Recently, he had some words for Invasion Radio when they asked him to freestyle alongside his Undergod partner, Keith Murray.  After Murray shredded through an instrumental and set up the alley for the rapper, Canibus declined.

The mood seemed to change after the DJ jokingly stated that she had a hot 16 to kick.

“Yo don't disrespect and say you have 16 bars.  That's what I'm saying man.  You have to have respect for men who rock rhymes all day and all night.  It's a game to you.  I've been vocaling and doing shows for four weeks, then I come up here and just look at me like, ‘Yo, spit somethin'.”

Going on somewhat of a diva tirade, the rapper added that rapping is up to the rapper and no one can just force a rapper to drop some bars just because they want to hear them.

“If anybody wanna rhyme, we just rhyme and if we don't wanna rhyme, we don't rhyme.  You can't push one way or the other, you have to just chill too.”

He also spoke on how he has bled himself dry for the craft and for the fans and has not been able to hold anything for himself.

“I give Hip-Hop everything and don't keep nothing to myself.”

Talk about a way to throw off his own promotion, the rapper that once feuded with LL Cool J has been off the radar for quite some time so the world of Hip-Hop has high expectations.  It only makes sense to give listeners just a sample outside of the upcoming album.

It's not like they were trying to get him to tap dance in Black face or anything.

To say fame got to his head would be inaccurate, solely based on the fact that he was never THAT big in the mainstream and essentially faded into obscurity.  The talent is there, without a doubt, but he has lacked the willingness to push himself over the bar when opportunity presents itself.

A person only has so many chances.

Joey Crack sat down with DJ Green Latern for Invasion radio and explained that he's taking things back to where they were and bringing back a new spin of his old name, Fat Joe The Gangsta.

“We talking about a future album, one after this. Probably no more Fat Joe, probably Fat Gangsta is coming back. 360. So we just gonna go in so hard body on that thing like just killing people. The whole joint is gonna be straight violence on that joint right there, so, look out for that. That's the Fat Gangsta, the return of the Fat Gangsta, “Flow Joe”, fat ni**a with the shotty."

 

He also divulged details about his next album, J.O.S.E. II, Jealous Ones Still Envy Part Two, the third installment to his Jealous Ones Still Envy series dating back to 1995.

“We worked very hard for this, October 6th, my album Jealous Ones Still Envy Part Two. Lil Kim on that album, Weezy on that album, Akon, T-Pain, Fabolous, Raekwon….I ain't even play that Raekwon The Chef yet. It's called the Ice Cream Man. Get at me yo, it's like my sweet sixteen. I like to think I'm better than ever.”
