    I know him and Iggy Izalia were signed to Grand Hustle and I red that she was getting into with Tip too, but I also think part of the reason she fell off is cause of all the people she was beefing with. We haven’t heard anything from her in a long ass time and if she ever does comeback I don’t think she’ll ever be as big as she was at first, her and Dro were both signed to Tip and both ended up falling off smh..I know Dro is still doing a little bit of music. But we’ll see if he’ll be able to climb back to the top with Tip, I believe he can and will do it.

    Dro biggest issue was not ever having a major label pushing him, like most rapper labels most the budget & attention goes to the rapper who owns the label. It's the same reason 2 chainz was more successful when he left dtp. But dro was too loyal to tip & the drugs obviously kept his ambition to grow very low. Look at his 1st album, it went gold off one single yet grand hustle only did 2 videos for it, a major label would have done 3 or 4 singles following shoulder lean & pushed it to platinum same as they was doing for tip. Dro was dropping hits off mixtapes & grand hustle never got behind them. Take off, I don't know yall, freeze me, all kinda shit that came out after the 1st album
