Drizzy chops it up with Angie Martinez and (after the jump) Katie Couric, who plays up the “I’m not familiar with you”/hip-hop negative stereotype so well. “What’s a nice Jewish boy doing in a career like this?” (smh). Still a good interview – they get into female objectification, a critique of his stage show, his Jewish heritage and the origin of the ‘DrizzyDrakeRogers” thing.
iHustleDaily.com chops it up with Crook & Junia-T about their hustle…

Wake up, Connect with the music fam, Blog, Make beats, Mix music and Coordinate events. We do a lot to survive on our own.
2. What makes you stand out from the rest of the competition? What makes your hustle unique?
No one else does it like we do. Regardless of whats going on we’re always busy. We’re out at various events, We build our own bridges and we’re doing it on our own terms. We get it done without the ego and keep it fresh with every step we take.
3. In the past, what has been your most impressive Hustle?
Our last EP was our most impressive hustle. We manufactured the most cutting-edge product and really set the bar country wide. Our last project was manufactured like a Nintendo Wii game, to the T, Booklet and everything. We’re always set the standard when it comes to product, and we will continue to do so in the future.

MsTVAnkA: Tell me about your new mixtape, “The Leaks”, what can listeners expect to hear?
Aion Clarke: Listeners can expect to hear melodies reminiscent of 90’s R&B (which to me was a great era in the genre), you’re gonna hear real subject matter, you will also hear Bryan Michael Cox, Noah Shebib and more make for some of the best production on this planet, and I’m gonna be singing my you know what off!!
MsTVAnkA: A lot of people refer to you as a “true R&B artist”, what sets you apart from other R&B artists today?
Aion Clarke: I’m no different from any other true artist R&B artist. I grew up a church boy, singing my first solo at 4 years old and continuing on, singing with choirs and groups, playing the drums and just using the gifts God gave me in a positive way. I’m just doing what God called me to do.
1. What’s your daily Hustle? What do you do to survive? Well I’ve always understood that if you work hard now … you live easy later … and if you live easy now … later on in life your gonna be faccked cuz you haven’t created the foundation necessary to ensure financial stability for yourself. So i do any and anything to get paid as long as it doesn’t involve selling out or selling my ass.
2. What makes you stand out from the rest of the competition? What makes your hustle unique? A step ladder. And my hustles unique cuz it’s me. I’m not the first one to rap, work a 9-5, sell drugs (back in the day) but when i do it, it’s genuine and i think that’s a key point in how i’ve been able to connect with so many people on so many levels over the years and still maintain positive growing relationships with meaning. I’m also very extreme. It’s a passionate dedicated go hard or go home mentality i cant get rid of. If i’m goin in … I’M GOING IN … Oh … and i’m black.
