The Dipset young gun sits down with Ozone in this exclusive interview.
Recent Legal Trouble:
With all me selling weed shit that was stupid, like come on man… For one I wasn’t there, I wasn’t in a session at that time. It’s my studio, yes I have my own studio but I wasn’t there, I haven’t been at my studio for about a week., you dig what I’m saying. So it’s in the area where I’m kind of like a target. I’m kind of like, what Ross said Rolls Royce you they favorite nigga, you know what I’m saying, my situation is like that. I drive through a town I’m the only , you know what I mean, young, black, fly dude moving like that. I guess it’s kind of like they don’t understand it…
DipSet Back Together:
Yeah and that’s going to be a good look. And you know I’ll still be doing what I’m doing on my own time. Just like how Jim doing what he doing on his own time and how Cam doing what he doing on his own time. That is what made us so great at the end of the day anyway, because just as much as we together as whole we just do the damn thing. Us as individuals can stand alone, so that was always the beautiful part about Diplomats. Shout out to Freaky the backbone of the set, you know what I mean. All you promoters doing flyers stop not putting Freaky on the flyers, Freaky is DipSet. He might just slap you if he see you.
Working with Dr. Dre:
It was hard, that was a beautiful experience. Dre had Jim in the booth like an hour and a half. But it was like that’s Dre and he is such a perfectionist; you know what I’m saying. He knows what he wants to hear on his beats and it’s like if you going to have anybody keep you in the booth a full hour and half why not it be Dr. Dre?
Regan Era Mixtape:
The Regan Era, the long awaited. First and foremost I would like to apologize before anything to all my fans, you know what I’m saying. It’s definitely going to be well worth the wait though, I promise you. I’m just putting on the finishing touches on it, you know what I mean. Like I said it’s been so long I felt like I really need to put out a masterpiece. The mixtape going to be like an album it’s going to be a limited amount of freestyles, a whole lot of just original music, you know what I’m saying. I’m not worried about putting it out in stores. I feel like I owe that to the people, you know what I’m saying. I owe that to everybody that has been supporting me… I got enough music… I been in the studio, I got my own studio working so it’s just locked under lock and key. I’m getting ready to release like within the next week… I’m shooting a video for every song on there.

Detroit's rap collective D12 is ready to jump back into the game.
Eminem, Bizarre, Kuniva, Swifty McVeigh and Kon Artist haven't released an album since 2004's 'D12 World.'
Of course Eminem has dropped back to back quality albums with 'Relapse' and 'Recovery', but we haven't seen the group perform together other than Jay-Z & Em's Home and Home concert series last year.
Bizarre has kept busy with 3 solo releases since 2006, Kon artist aka Denaun Porter does a lot of production work and acts as Eminem's hype man during shows, while Swift & Kuniva have dropped a mixtape here and there
But now the solo projects are on hold now that the group, sans Eminem have released a brand new video for "Kill Zone", the 1st single off their upcoming mixtape 'Return of the Dozen Pt. 2' which drops April 19 according to Boombox.
Eminem is supposed to appear on the tape, here's hoping he does.

Things haven't exactly been going Beanie Sigel's way as of late.
The former Roc-A-Fella spitta reportedly is in trouble with the IRS and he still hasn't patched things up with his former boss Jay-Z.
But a recent interview 804 ENT Beans is sure to raise a few eyebrows.
Beanie looked like he might have been full of that liquor, so it could have been the drink talking, but the Broad Street Bully said he would like to hook up with Fat Joe and Officer Ross to remake a Fat Boys album.
He also said he wouldn't mind signing to Cash Money Records.
What do you guys think of Beanie's latest comments?

The great Jesse Owens once said, 'We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.'
It's been a long road for Camden, NJ's native son. Over a year removed from his Streetsweepers affiliation and well-publicized legal issues, Big Lou may have stumbled upon the title of the creator of 'The Greatest Mixtape Ever' by an unsigned artist. Not to imply that this Hip Hop masterpiece was an accident, but stating that it turned out the way it was planned would be an overreach.
It's no secret that every unknown rapper longs to make their mark in Hip Hop via the mixtape circuit. While no longer a lucrative market and one that has been saturated by every person aspiring to achieve greatness in this genre, some of rap music's biggest artists would still be relatively unknown without this gateway.
In early 2009 Big Lou and the label he created, Lost City Records, started to pen up ideas for his debut mixtape post Streetsweepers. The challenge was a difficult one considering that the 'Playtime's Over' project released by DJ Kay Slay although well received, did not generate the buzz that his first major release, 'Resurrecting the Dead,' received despite Kay Slay's powerful platforms on NY's Hot 97 and Shade 45 radio stations. When asked about the different reception both projects received, Big Lou said, 'When I dropped 'Resurrecting the Dead,' it took over 8 months to finish it. It was put together with detail and every track and skit set up the track that followed. It was like a movie. Kay Slay just talked a lot on the other project. There was nothing to it other than good tracks. The fans immediately felt the absence of my input. Basically it was more a Kay Slay mixtape than a Big Lou Mixtape.'
Big Lou's new project, 'The Goya Product With A Twist of Soul Food,' never had a shot to end as it was designed. Once the industry got wind of the broken marriage to Streetsweepers, the backlash that was expected by Big Lou and his camp never came and soon artists and DJs who actually stayed away because of the affiliation, immediately started to call. The result has been one of the most impressive line-ups by an unsigned artist in the history of the mixtape circuit.
With artists such as Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks), Immortal Technique, Cassidy, Krutch, Pitbull, Math Hoffa, Jeru Da Damaja, Cuban Link, Nino Bless, Sav Killz, Chino XL, Mike Beck, Jaz 0, Mysonne, Termanology, DJ Camilo, DJ Vlad, Tony Touch, Nu Jerzey Devil, Dio and over 25 other artists, this project evolved into a masterpiece that will undoubtedly be debated for years by Hip Hop fans all over the world. 'Is this the greatest Mixtape Ever Made?' Like all treasures before us, only time will make that distinction.
