While out at A3C, I caught up with the homie Skeme at Hot Beatz studio. We talk about his upcoming mixtape "Before My Next Statement," putting "The Statement 2" up for sale, recording on southern/trap beats vs westcoast beats, touring with Strong Arm Steady, producer & artist features for The Statement 2 such as Sonny Digital (producer of "Tony Montana," "Racks on Racks"), Dom Kennedy, Kendrick Lamar and some other non-LA surprises we should look forward too. - AO
