Doe B's death shook up hip-hop, as he was one of the most promising stars in the South, and T.I. recently revealed to SOHH how the rapper's passing shook up Hustle Gang. Tip admitted that the group had to reevaluate everything, but assured fans that the label is still going strong.
"For real man, that put us on ice. We had to step back to re-evaluate. I mean don't get me wrong we still have extremely heavy hitters with Trae Da Truth, Travis Scott, Iggy Azalea, people like myself, Shad Da God, we still have a plethora of talents but that hit us."
He also gave insight into how Doe B maneuvered in the group, "The thing about Doe is, he developed his own relationship everybody individually. It wasn't just like, Doe was a part of what we are a part of, so we're all just gonna be cool. There were times when he would come to town and he would call me and he came with his partners and whoever I was with and we'd kick it and watch the game. He was a huge sports fan. I'm a Heat fan, he a Lakers fan. We'd always talk about sports, so that was the bond and the connection. Him and B.o.B. had a different relationship, he and different relationship with Trae Da Truth. I think that us provided to the character he had and he was willing to co-exist with anybody that was willing to co-exist with him."
