Mac Dre & Mac Mall f/ E-40 - “Dredio” (Thizz, 2005)
Though 40 and Dre formally squashed their beef well before Dre was murdered, they never did get a chance to record together in the studio. This Royal Cash flip was constructed posthumously.
It’s a shame 40 didn’t take the opportunity to give himself a tennis-pun nickname ala Mall Macenroe, Andre Macassi or Street Sampras.

“Next year will be 20 years as Outkast, which is—I’m still I’m still amazed at it. I’m happy that we’ve been around that long.”
— Does it really count as 20 years with Outkast if they’ve been inactive for at least ten of those? Can Busta Rhymes claim two decades with Leaders Of The New School?

Fader: Beat Constuction - Harry Fraud Q&A
Fader’s Beat Construction producer column is back and I will be the one constructing it. For the first installment I interviewed Brooklyn’s Harry Fraud about working with French Montana, growing up with West Coast rap and how his dad managed ’90s Alt-Pop stars Sugar Ray (but not The Beatles).
Check for a new Beat Construction interview every other Monday.
