Famed mixtape king, DJ Drama, has just released the follow-up to his official Gangsta Grillz: The Album with Vol. 2 this week, which he says broadens his movement.
The new album features a list of who's who in modern hip-hop. Some of those guests include Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Trey Songz, LA the Darkman, OJ Da Juiceman, Bun B, Nas, Ludacris, The-Dream, Busta Rhymes, Too $hort, Lil Boosie, Yo Gotti, and Willie the Kid, among others. On the production side, he enlisted the likes of Drumma Boy, Zaytoven, and Affiliates in-house beat maker V12 Da Hitman.
"This album broadens the movement and just brings good music to the table," says Drama. "With the albums, mixtapes and artists, I'm keeping the music alive for those who are coming up under us and representing hip-hop. I don't want to make it too complicated. It's just about giving everybody something to ride to and giving them what they want."
"Day Dreaming," featuring Akon, Snoop Dogg and T.I., is the album's first single. So far, it has proven a major Urban radio success, while the track's companion video clip is in rotation at BET. The album's new single, "Ridiculous" featuring Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti and Lonnie Mac, is currently being added to radio playlists.
The ATL-based Drama is known far and wide for his legendary Gangsta Grillz. The Album Vol. 2 continues in that same flowing formula with all-new original material.
