50 Cent and DJ Drama are doing a lot of press & promotion for their The Lost Tape mixtape. They sat down with DJ Enuff yesterday to discuss the new project dropping on the 22nd, why it took them so long to do a Gangsta Grillz together, Precious Paris, 50′s last album as per his original Interscope Records contract and more.
