On that album Fredro and Doctor taking back their listeners to 1989. [5]

Relations with Drake

In 2010 Canadian rapper Drake mentioned Fredro Starr on his song "Light Up":

"...The shit feel like when Fredro Starr was in Sunset Park, stuntin' hard in his yellow goose."

In response to this Fredro samples Drake for his song "The Truth". [6] [7]

"...I mean yeah I respect him for that reason. He shout me out on his first album on a record with Jay Z, on the ‘Light Up’ record which was probably one of the hottest records on his first album. Sampling Drake on the Made In The Streets joint ‘The Truth’ was just an ode back to him. Like somebody giving you dap, I’m giving dap right back."
