Featured: DJ Drama
Words by: Hallway Jay
Any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting, or striking interest or results, or in other words, Drama. Every few years there seems to be that one person in the mixtape game that creates a series of vivid, emotional, conflicting, or as I would like to say great, mixtapes. Through countless numbers of mixtapes push out into the market and the undeniably oversaturated combines of the mixtape game there always seems to be that one tape where you will here someone so eloquently say…. “Gangsta Grillz you bastardsss”…and thus we have Drama. All Hail the Ipod King…Mr. Thanksgiving..or my personal favorite Barack O'Drama…..
