Don Q checks in with the L.A. Leakers, Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk, to talk about his latest music video and project Don Season 2 while also mentioning what it’s been like to work with 50 Cent and how it was connecting with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie for the first time.

Since dropping his first mixtape Don Season 1, the New York City-bred rapper ensured that the bar was set higher before delivering his new project. Speaking on his decision to continue his “Don Season” trek, and naming his project Season 2, Q says:

No, it wasn’t easy ‘cause, I wasn’t gonna name nothing Don Season 2 until I felt like it was ready, because Don Season was the tape that got me the respect i got. So, I wasn’t just gonna play around and be like, “Oh, I’m dropping the tape, i’m just gonna say, “Don Season 2.” It had to be that vibe like, “This is Don Season 2 right here!”

Speaking on some of his influences in music, the “Look At Me” emcee lists Jay-Z, Dipset, and G-Unit as inspiration early on and now he hopes to collab with some of L.A.’s best like Nipsey Hussle and Mozzy.

Don also goes on to share a childhood story of stealing his Mom’s cd player to listen to 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ album and details who he’s recruited for for his upcoming project.
