During Mannie Fresh’s recent interview with NPR, the legendary New Orleans producer confirmed that he will be working on Lil Wayne’s upcoming “endgame”, Tha Carter V, which — along with Wayne’s return to lyricism — sounds like a possible (future) classic in the making.
Another topic brought up was his long-awaiting collaboration with Mos Def. The duo, dubbed OMFGOD, seem to finally be headed toward a completed project. To the surprise of listeners in the audience, Mannie Fresh also played a new track from the two, titled ‘Let’s Go’ (we’ll drop that one as soon as we can). Needless to say, Fresh is definitely bringing some bars out of Yasiin Bey.
Other topics included the current state of Hip-Hop, old school equipment versus new technology, how Katrina affected New Orleans’ culture and more (he also hates AutoTune). Stay tuned for the full interview from NPR.
