305djs: How do you feel about the whole Miami Movement?

Bigg D: It’s incredible. It’s been a long time coming. I can say it’s about time. Now let’s see what we can do with this opportunity as far as bridging the gap amongst us as brothers here. We can be blessed with this success that God has given us now, now let’s see what we’re going to do with it. Are we still going to be distant from each other, not work together? My thing is that I’m happy for everybody, but now I want to see what everybody does with this little success and power that we each have.

305djs: Everyone knows you were part of Unusual Suspects with Jim Jonsin, Is there a reason you two don’t work together anymore?

Bigg D: Just differences. He had his thing I had mine. Like I say in all my interviews, me and Jim didn’t really have problems. It was the people around us that used me and Jim situation for their own gain. That’s how I feel. It wasn’t me and Jim. We were the creative ones. The people around us, they really didn’t have talent but they ate off of our success and everything that we created. They found a way to make it benefit them more and better gain them, so they used that.
