A hip-hop musical titled College Fresh that will be out in December. It was directed by Jack Thrilla of 50cent.com; he’s 50’s lead video guy for his Web show. Then my mixtape titled Fast cars and Bad Broads: The Champaign Life hosted by DJ Cannon will be dropping after that. I’m real focused right now, so I’m channeling all of my energy into as much as I can. I want to put out as many projects as I can without stopping.
