Part 8: • Young Dro on T.I. Goin...
Part 1: • Young Dro on Being 17 ...
--------
In this clip, Young Dro reflects back on touring with T.I. during his heyday before he dropped his solo LP. The Atlanta native also shares some of the perks that came along with being one of T.I.'s signees, such as lavish cars and clothes. From there, he talks about the release of his debut studio album, "Best Thang Smoking," the LP's lead single, "Shoulder Lean," and the accolades that followed, such as platinum records and becoming the first rapper to win a ring tone award. Lastly, when Shawn Prez brings up his favorite lyrics from the song "My girl got a girlfriend," Young Dro states his belief that those words may have inspired more threesomes in the bedroom.
