Rapper Fiend reflects on the buzz from the Cash Money vs. No Limit Verzuz-style moment at ComplexCon and how it brought his 1998 No Limit debut album back onto the charts. He proudly calls his music “classic hip-hop,” not old school, and shares how those songs were like journal entries from his life.
