“Yeah, we been talking about collaborating a little bit because 50 and Scrappy are real cool,” Jon said recently. “We been talking about how we can make Scrappy a bigger artist than he is. Sometimes when you get together with people and work things out, you can make a smaller situation massive. It’s all like one big family. They showing us a lot of love.”

“It’s definitely going down,” Scrappy beamed. “We already spoke it up all the way. It happened. I just look at the bigger picture. We’re gonna do everything all over again. You saw how 50 came out; we’re gonna do it all over again. You saw how I came out; we’re gonna do it all over again. I ain’t coming down, I’m about to re-up all my energy all over again.”

Scrappy described his first official LP as “half party, half sorrow.”

“You gonna have times when I go back to coming up as a child, through being a teenager till now,” he elaborated. “All the problems and the good times all in one [album]. It’s crunk, but it’s all got real lyrics on there. No false statements on there.”

He’s been working with Mase, G-Unit, Stat Quo and Three 6 Mafia on the project, but Scrap said the LP is still in production and that some of those songs may not make the cut.

“You gotta go straight forward, get all your ideas right,” he said of the process. “There’s a lot of stuff that comes with putting out an album of you own. Jon can’t help me through the whole thing, people like 50 can’t help me through the whole thing. It’s like putting together a movie, a book on wax damn near. It’s gotta be right.”
