That’s who we are in today’s Hip Hop environment,” he said. “We not trying to do whatever everybody else is doing. I think people can appreciate that on a certain level even if you into a Drake and Weezys and all of this. But when you look at us, you go ‘Oh, that’s a brand that we all know and can trust.’ That’s where we are today.”
