NO BUSINESS LIKE MO.BUSINESS

During my aggressive travels last week in LA, I ran into The Retrospective dudes. The retrospective…the retrospective…why does that ring a bell? Oh, I know why…they hit me a couple months back to do an interview with Million $ Mano. Who knew I was also a subject under the retroscope. But of course I am. So in any case, The Retrospective got up with me for an interview, and I gotta say the interview is too potent to read once. So read it slowice (slow/twice). Cick here.

Fantastadon is genius. You can get the original “I Aint Goin” here. Also a genius song. Both are the hardest songs I’ve heard in a black minute.

Here’s the tune.
