    Sadat X is one of the nicest emcees on planet earth. We did a song together that just dropped recently called “SUP”. Go peep it, because on the real, this was a dream come true for me.

    Working with Sadat X was like getting drafted to the NBA and playing on the team with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Unbelievable you hear me. Thank you D-Nice.

    D, i think this was the best interview you've done. Good example of how a felony can really screw you when it comes to getting a good job, cant hustle forever & everyone cant be an artist or athlete, what you do in the streets can haunt you in life.
