So my whole thing is, my last CD was called Shittin' on the Industry. This one called King of Memphis. So I'm just letting everybody know I do what I wanna do with this shit. And on top of that, all my partners kings. Everybody you see around me, they’re kings. Every last one of them. I ain’t the only one that got paper. None of that. I'm the boss."
