The rapper told us: "I mean basically, it's a movement we been on, you know what I'm sayin', for six, seven years now, as far as Corporate Thugz Entertainment label. I just got a situation with Def Jam for the label deal, so you can look forward to, like, U.S.D.A., my man Slick Pulla, my man Blood Raw, Diesel the Don."
