“Me and Waka were never not cool so I don’t know where you get that from,” he explained. “There was a period of time I wasn’t speaking to him. But it wasn’t no bad thing about that. We just wasn’t talking at the time.”
He added, “We feeling each other right now. I’m feeling his swag. He’s feeling mine. I’m feeling his music right now and he’s feeling my music right now so we just came together and said let’s combine. We’ve been talking about putting this album out for the last two years. Since we formed Brick Squad, we been saying we’re gonna come out with a group album. So the perfect time is now. We’re gonna come out with our group album and then we’ll come back out with our solo albums.”

“[I]t’s already recorded,” he said. “It’s completely done…you can expect it in the spring sometime. It’s got like 17 tracks. You got production from Drumma Boy, Southside, J. Cole, Shawty Redd. We got collaborations from Rocko, Tity Boi, and OJ Da Juiceman, and everybody in the Brick Squad camp. We just wrapped that up last week. So after I recorded The Return of Mr. Zone 6, me and Waka went to the Beatmakerz studio to record the whole album in Atlanta.”
He added, “In April we’re shooting our first movie to put it out in the summer. We’re working on getting the script written up so we don’t have the title just yet. We got Mr. BoomTown who shots all my videos and it’s starring me and Waka. I would say we definitely have to pay homage to Cash Money and No Limit because that’s definitely where we got the blueprint from.”
