VIDEO: YOUNG DE TALKS SERIAL KILLAS PROJECT FT. XZIBIT & B-REAL
Young De sat down with Baller Status to talk about his upcoming project, Serial Killaz, featuring Young De, Xzibit and B-Real. You can read the whole story here.
Last month, a new track called "Body Bags," featuring Cypress Hill frontman B-Real, Xzibit and rising rapper Young De hit the web. The collaboration wasn't just for one of the MCs' project, it is part of a group effort between the trio called the Serial Killaz. We caught up with Young De on the set of Xzibit's new music video, "Hurt Locker," recently where he revealed the group's formation. He said the three joined forces after a chance meeting in the studio, where they began creating new music and couldn't deny their chemistry. "The way that it actually came together was I had met Xzibit in the studio. I walked into the studio and there's Xzibit, and I got introduced to him," Young De explained to BallerStatus.com. "He's like 'Hey, you're Young De, who's on B-Real's 'Don't Ya Dare Laugh,' ' (the first single off B-Real solo debut, Smoke N Mirrors). He's like 'I love that song. I need to get your on something.' So, we started working from there, and we just really clicked up ... mentally, like on the same page, work ethic-wise.
Young De sat down with Baller Status to talk about his new video for the track Blaze of Glory as well as his upcoming collaboration with Akomplice. Check out the video above... You can read the whole story here.
