While his friend and frequent collaborator B.o.B has been making headlines, DX Next alum Playboy Tre is also quietly working behind the scenes. Tre has written with and for the likes of T.I., Lil John and the Eastside Boyz, and more, and he has been releasing a steady stream of material to get fans acclimated to his sound. HipHopDX caught up with the self-proclaimed “liquor store mascot” at the streetwear store, Hangtime, in Nashville, Tennessee to see what Tre has been up to.“I got a brand new project getting ready to come out, and it's called ‘Last Call,’” Tre said. “A lot of people thought it meant I was gonna be done making CDs after this one. It really just means playtime is over for anybody who can’t stand when the motherfuckers who really bustin’ and coming with some creative shit step in the door.”...full text |

| Playboy Tre returns to the game later this month with 'Last Call' -- his first mixtape of 2010. Coming off a successful year that included touring and recording with B.o.B. and dropping the fantastic 'Liquor Store Mascot,' the ATL rapper is coming back hungry and ready to build on his reputation as a unique lyricist, expert storyteller and one of the funniest rappers recording today. We linked up with Playboy Tre to get the scoop on all things 'Last Call' and it really sounds like a stunner. Both Joell Ortiz and Lil Jon make appearances, and there's a big track with the Bay Area's Mistah F.A.B. where both rappers touch on their biggest influences. "I got some features on this one of some people I really respect," Tre told The BoomBox. "I'm really interested to see what the response is going to be. I had an idea to just pay homage to all the great people and artists who inspired me to keep going. There was a time we were told we wouldn't last. I wanted to put Mistah F.A.B. on there to talk about people who inspired him from the West Coast -- people from the Bay, from L.A., or artists we might not even know of from places like Phoenix. It turned out really well." The record itself provides Tre an opportunity to issue warnings on two fronts. "When it's last call at a bar, you gotta get in and you gotta get out," he explained. "Basically, it's saying that I'm back and if there's any bulls--- in the air, it's over with. It's last call. You have no time. It's my time here now. It's my time to be heard."...full text |
