“Coming from Connecticut, the upper East Coast its very lyrical. Everybody has to have punchlines. You’ve got to have bars. There’s a lot of people rapping out there but as a whole Connecticut has never been on the map or the Hip-Hop radar.”

Webby continued about his upcoming projects.  “Right now I’m working on a EP that’s going to lead into a album. I expect the EP to be 6 or 7 tracks kind of give a launch pad for the album that’s coming afterwards.”

Prescription Drug use has been at a all time high, Chris Webby broke down his use of both illegal and prescription drugs in the studio.

“I’m high pretty frequently, sometimes you just have to get in your little zone. When you’re taking Adderall in the studio you get all geeked up. I’m prescribed by the way.  I have very bad attention deficit disorder but its cool I was diagnosed at a early age, I been on attention medication for a long time. I don’t like to rely on it but sometimes it helps me because my ADD is kind of crazy.”

When we asked Chris Webby about his Top 5 Number 1 was a no-brainer.

“To Every rapper that is in my age range, it doesn’t matter whether they’re white, black, Hispanic, Asian Eminem when he first came out he changed the way Hip Hop was and how it still is to this day.”

[ALSO CHECK OUT: What Ray J’s “I Put Her On” Album Will Sound Like]

At the April 18th premiere party for Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, the often outspoken reality TV starlet attributed her soured relationship with Mama Dee to Erica’s unwillingness to be Mama Dee’s “puppet”. Erica even suggests a deeper psychological reasoning as to why Mama Dee is so fixated on Scrappy’s love life:

[Her gripe] was I don’t spend time with her or do anything with her or take her. I’m like ‘I’m with your son, not you. You seem to be confused.’ She might just have the Oedipus Complex. That’s your son, not your man.”

Dixon also claims that any attempts on her end to reconcile the two women’s differences are impossible because “she’s old” and “she’s miserable”. The inflammatory comments culminate in Dixon making a salacious accusation of Mama Dee’s sexual promiscuity:

“I’ve been around 11 year come August. I’ve seen Mama Dee run through about 10 to 15 men.  No one sticks on. So that in itself speaks on her character.”

Recently there have been reports that her engagement with Lil Scrappy has dissolved. In a recent interview with GlobalGrind Erica does not clear up those rumors and hints at a possible breakup:

“It’s like I wish this n*gga would get his sh*t together because I know how it feels to be back and forth and to actually really love somebody and to want to be with them. It’s like ‘Get it together.’ And eventually, you know, if I know somebody going through a similar situation, I tell them like ‘He’ll get it together eventually.’ It takes some time ’cause it takes longer for n*ggas to mature but they’ll eventually get there.”

Running With The Bulls is a byproduct of immense love from fans and MC’s from Chicago and a love for the 90′s era Bulls teams, Daytona’s favorite team. “Sam Bowie”, named after the NBA player selected before Michael Jordan in the 1984 NBA draft, is a smooth ode to proving your doubters wrong  containing lush cymbals and hard drums.

The 4nominal produced “Blue & Cream” featuring Chicago rhyme spitter YP is a bouncy departure from his usual slow grooves.  Daytona’s bravado and cadence make lines such as “make a white b*tch twerk like Hannah Montana” seem relatable. The vivid nature of his lyrics accompanied with his mater-of-fact tone makes Daytona’s brash bars and bragging engagingly believable. Daytona revealed at the listening session that a certain Hip Hop legend agrees:

“When me and Jadakiss shot the video for the ‘Low’ joint he was  like ‘yo, when you said ‘I came through Greenhouse with Nicole Kidman’, I really thought you came through Greenhouse with Nicole Kidman.’”

The music was relatively upbeat, but the standout track of the night, a sedative Al Dilla-produced joint entitled “Isley” exhibited Daytona in his most natural setting and the effortless cool oozed through a barrage of witty slick talk.

It’s a good thing when I’m feeling good, the music still reflects everyday life, whether it’s my everyday life or your everyday life.”

Jim Jones also touched on the upcoming projects he’s working on.

“I’m working on a mixtape right now for the streets, working on a EP with Philthy Rich an Oakland/Harlem joint. I’m working on my album I won’t put that out till the Fall, the mixtape is viscous,” Jim Jones revealed exclusively to AllHipHop.com.
