talks with Drag-On about his speech impediment, finally breaking free from Ruff Ryders and beefin’ with Lil Wayne. More recently, Drag dropped a new mixtape with DJ L entitled Return of the Bad Guy. Shortly after, he released “Wallah,” a Lil Wayne diss track that claimed Weezy stole his Fireman alias. XXL Staff Published: After almost a decade-long run with one of the most successful crews in hip-hop, Drag-On recently decided it was time to part ways with the Ruff Ryders. Although still contractually bound to Ruff Ryders, Drag took matters into his own hands and formed his own label, Hood Environment, in 2006. As a result, Drag-On’s 2004 follow-up, Hell and Back, barely cracked the 132,000 mark. Over the next few years, fellow Ruff Ryders like DMX, Eve and the LOX began to focus on other opportunities and the crew’s momentum dwindled considerably. In 2000, the Bronx born MC released his debut album, Opposite of H2O, which earned a gold plaque due in part to hit singles like “Spit These Bars” and “Niggas Die 4 Me.” But Drag’s success would be short lived. Introduced to the world on “For My Dogs” off DMX’s 1998 disc, It’s Dark and Hell is Hot, Drag saw his career catch fire a year later when he released “Down Bottom,” a collaboration with Juvenile that appeared on the Ruff Ryders’ Ryde or Die, Vol. Frustrated with the fact that he only released two albums during his stint with the Double R, the gruff voiced lyricist is now in the process of finalizing his release from the label. After almost a decade-long run with one of the most successful crews in hip-hop, Drag-On recently decided it was time to part ways with the Ruff Ryders.
