he G.R.i.T. Boys have been a hot name in Houston for some time, especially in the mixtape game. We’ve been waiting for a real album. Now that you’ve signed a distribution deal with TVT Records, when is it coming? We got most of the control out of the deal; it’s like a P&D deal, which is better than being the labels’ slave. But we’re finally dropping an album and it’s gonna be nationwide. It’s coming out May 15th and Pretty Todd is in New York right now doing the marketing plan. As far as the album, we finished it last week. We got production from Cozmos, Mr. Lee, a guy named Joe, and the Grid Iron produced most of it. It’s a good look. I’m glad my album is coming out, dawg. 12

Who all is on it? We got a lot of good features on there. We had a song with a sample from Pat Benatar, I think it was called “Follow Me Through This Town,” and we took the line “You Don’t Know These Streets,” but we had to get it redone because the sample cost way too much to get it cleared. We got Travis Barker to play the drums over and Corey Funkafingaz to play the guitar. That shit is crazy. Hopefully we can bring a Grammy home this year for that one. We got Paul Wall, Hawk, and Dizzee Rascal on there. We just shot Dizzee another song; we want him on a single so we can try to get a buzz over in the UK too with his feature. We got Mase on the album, Trey Songz, B.G., Bun B, and Slim Thug.
