Wes Fif, down with Clientelle Music Group was recently signed to Slip n Slide records. Fif is reportedly awaiting distribution from a major label, while his latest mixtape, Dead Presidents with DJ Smallz, gains further exposure.

PCM: Wassup Wes Fif what have you been up too?
WF: Grindin’ baby, you know same ol’ sh*t. Trying to make a million dollars.

PCM: Why do you call yourself the King of the O?
WF:  Well really that’s just how I felt at the time, I still feel that way to a certain extent. If you don’t feel like you’re the best, then you don’t need to even think about jumping into this game. My initial reason for that though was shock value. I expected others to take offense, and knew it would make them want to see what I was about. Once you hear my music, and see that I’m for real you either agree with that statement, or you respect the music and the movement enough to forget that you were mad that I made that statement. I don’t go by that as much anymore, I still feel like I’m the best  however.

PCM: What is the most important thing you have learned so far with this business?
WF: People you think are your friends in this game, aren’t your friends by a long shot. You have to know how to distinguish friendship from business, and try hard not to mix the two. Keep the grass cut and watch for snakes.

PCM:  Who do you respect right now in your city that you think has a shot and is putting it down?
WF:  My big homey Jon Young, Treal, Dee Boi, my whole CMG family, Underworld, Smilez & Southstar and Grandaddy Souf still in it. Man everybody doing their thing I have a level of respect for because I know it’s not easy  at all with all the favoritism and shit going on with most these DJs and shit like that.

PCM: is there anyone or anything we didn’t cover you would like to let us know?
WF:  Log on to www.myspace.com/wesfif  man, become part of the movement. I want to thank Pure Cash Magazine for taking the time out to f**k with ya boy man. All my ni**as locked up hold ya head, all the fallen soldiers we miss you.  407 we IS on the map…believe it. CMG.!!!
