"Ballers Eve is known for repping the south and showcasing guests from the south but during the summer of 2009 I met an artist with serious potential. Mista Mayhemm was with another artist from Arkansas (ROCK$tar) but for some reason Mayhemm really stood out to me.... After drinking hot coffee (aka a Ballers Eve special) and joking with Minski & J Dirrt bout crazy NYC girls.....Mayhemm goes "KDS we have to work together on a mixtape, i know we would kill it"....I knew Mayhemm was a true native of Little Rock Arkansas and definitely someone I wanted to work with on a mixtape.
In Febuary of 2011 Mayhemm reached out to me concerning an issue of local DJ's not showing local rappers enough love in Arkansas, I remember the crazy call like it was yesterday...he was like "bro, i need the Ballers Eve family to help me out"....which is when we first talked of me (KDS) hosting his mixtape.
Being someone down to help out Southern artists I jumped at the opportunity to host his mixtape. Me & Dirrt istened to the tracks and instantly knew it was something that deserved the Ballers Eve "stamp". Then as the project was close to being finished I got (OG Ballers Eve DJ & current Deftones bass player) Sergio Vega to help out by tweeking the final mix & giving it some special touches. All in all I ended up hosting a solid mixtape that can definitely be played from start to finish, with no skipping of tracks....ha!!"
