Rapper Big Pooh<\/strong> shares another unreleased joint. Just like the Seinfeld<\/em> joint with Phonte<\/strong>, Room To Breathe<\/em> also comes with an interesting story.<\/p>\n

Back in 2010 as I was finding my groove for Dirty Pretty Things<\/em> I got some joints from DJ Khalil<\/strong>. I wrote this joint and got Khrysis<\/strong> to reference the hook I wrote. I like the feel he gave it so I decided to keep his vocals on there. Time goes by and I end up being contacted by a guy named Griffin Guess who says he wants to put out some music of mine through his new company. He references he has done some work with\/for Kanye and he manages his wife, Marissa Miller. I figured I\u2019d go through the process and see if the look was as good as the thought. After going back and forth, I decided to try it out for one album. Although skeptical, we go to the paperwork phase and begin negotiating terms. During this time I chose this to be the lead off (this was before I recorded the Seinfeld joint with Phonte). I went out to LA and took pics for the single cover, did a mixing session for this joint and negotiated a fee for Khalil. Shit fell apart soon after when Griffin then attempted to slide me a management contract on top of the label deal. I parted ways with Griffin before completing my project and didn\u2019t feel right using this joint after Khalil was promised a fee that wasn\u2019t delivered. I still was blessed with two Khalil joints for the album.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
