Jae Millz sits down with Cam Capone News for a 2-hour interview about his career from the beginning that includes how he linked up with Lil Wayne and Young Money, working on Dedication 3, why he never released an album on the record label, and much more.

The former YM artist recalls first working with Tunechi on his “Holla At A Playa” remix, witnessing Tune record it right there on the spot for free, the older Young Mula days, and Weezy going to Rikers Island back in 2010.

Millzy speaks on if Lil Wayne has any ghostwriters, witnessing Wayne‘s reaction to JAY-Z‘s diss line on “H.A.M” when Kanye West personally played it for them in the studio, and being with Mr. Carter when he recorded his response on “It’s Good” off Tha Carter IV.

Also in their conversation, which you can watch below, Jae discussed the success of YM, why most of the members including Drake and Nicki Minaj have previously been kicked off the label, why “Bedrock” was his most memorable studio session, and the song originally having Omarion on the hook!

I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the April 2008 issue of The Source magazine for #ThrowbackThursday today, which took place during a recording session on his tour bus for “Let The Beat Build” and “Lollipop” off Tha Carter III.

“Everybody talking ’bout ‘the boy on too much drugs, Baby need to take him to rehab’ and all this shit. I want you to know one thing: a junkie can’t do what the fuck I do. Can’t no drug, can’t no bitch, can’t no money faze me. I am the ultimate high. It ain’t what I’m on, it’s what I do, and making great music is what the fuck I do.”

Tune also talked to C. Vernon Coleman II about playing the guitar, believing every album he has put out is a classic, his daughter Reginae Carter, owning all of his publishing and masters, and more!
