DJ Drama and Tony Yayo are at it again. In a new interview, Yayo talked about stepping away from his G-Unit fellow member DJ Whoo Kid for his new mixtape.

It was like, ‘Who should I go to? DJ Drama.’ Atlanta is poppin’, New York City’s poppin’, everywhere is poppin’ — but I had to go to Gangsta Grillz. [Mastermind DJ Drama] paved the way for a lot of artists. He’s the hottest DJ to go to. Shout out to Whoo Kid, but I did this one with Drama this time."

"Reason I call it Gangsta Paradise is because the gangstas in Queens call it ‘gangsta’s paradise.’ Brooklyn is the jungle. That’s the name of Queens — shout to Southside Jamaica. I’ve been dropping a lot of mixtapes on my own, learning from 50. I think I’m starting to get the game mastered. It takes some time. Swine Flu, Swine Flu 2: The Pandemic, Public Enemies. Now I got Gangsta Paradise. Shout to Willie the Kid and La the Darkman. The video is crazy. Real recognize real." [Tony Yayo and DJ Drama Talk Gangsta Paradise - Watch Here]
