Most interviews with rappers consist of standard questions about their career and personal life. However, during a recent meeting with French Montana, we asked the man behind the hits "Ain't Worried About Nothin'" and "Pop That" about the role of DJs in breaking records. Aside from praising legends such as Funkmaster Flex and DJ Clue, Montana revealed that he's currently working with DJ Snake on a new project.
