Fabolous and DJ Drama Sit Down to Talk Mixtape History, Big Meech, and Lil Uzi Vert

Brooklyn giant Fabolous recently pulled up on DJ Drama for a heavy conversation on Revolt TV, tracing the lineage of the mixtape culture they both helped build. The two heavyweights chopped it up about Fab’s early days spitting over DJ Clue tapes, a run that completely rewrote the blueprint for how street releases could launch a mainstream career. During the sit-down, Fabolous mapped out his deep ties to the culture, reflecting on meeting Big Meech in Atlanta and his early decision to put a rising Jeezy on one of his first album tracks. He also shared a wild story about Lil Uzi Vert handing his son five thousand dollars in cold cash for his birthday. It is a masterclass in rap history from two guys who lived it.
