24: Through all of the years since you came into this music industry you have been relevant year after year which is something not many artists’ can do?

B.G.: I work hard man and try to grind for myself and everyone around me. It's a lot of people who I take care of and support period whether it’s with money or just by my actions as a boss and leader. I think I put out music that the streets relate to and once the streets ain’t going no where B.G. ain’t going no where!

24: How did you new deal with Atlantic Records happen?

B.G.: I think they saw the resume which spoke for itself album after album independently doing my thing. The boy T.I. put in the word and added to the project and now we here with the whole Chopper City thing taking off.

24: You recently did a Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama so tell the people about that?

B.G.: Yeah, it’s called "Hood Generals" if you ain’t got it yet kill ya self! We got together and did the damn thing. I needed that Gangsta Grillz look and felt like it was only right to do it big to go along with the new deal shout out to DJ Drama for that too.

24: What should the fans look forward from this album?

B.G.: The same B.G. I’ve been giving them those hits since day one when I stepped off into this bitch. I fuck with my Hot Girls and they fuck with me. I got love for my street niggas and they got love for the gizzle!

24: T.I. will be executive producer on the album right?

B.G.: Yeah, when the deal went down we decided the both of us was going to get together for this album. I respect what he does and he respects what I do so its works for the both of us.

24: Did his legal situation push back your project?

B.G.: It did but we still moving forward. Shit like the video he couldn't be there etc but you see we still shot the video. He back now and doing better and things are back on track as we speak.

24: Do you have a title for the album as yet?

B.G.: It's called "Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood" should be out this year so be on the look out for that and Chopper City Boyz.

24: Who are some of the producers you have been working with so far?

B.G.: I got J.R. Rotem on that bitch, Justice L.E.A.G.U.E., I did a joint with Drumma Boy, The Runners, Lil C and some up and coming producers as well.

24: What advice would you tell an up and coming artist trying to get into this game?

B.G.: If you ain’t ready to grind and hustle for yourself please don't do it. If you just in it for the fame don't do it because that shit don't last forever and you fuck around and be broke. Get you paper and promote your own shit bra.
