Mikey: During a recent interview with Complex, Vado explained on how he originally linked up with Cam, getting into the rap game, and also discussed his thoughts on the Dipset reunion.

Complex: How did you find out about the reunion with Cam and Jim?

Vado: Cam sat me down, he told me what’s going on and what’s about to happen and I felt it was a great look for Harlem. Then to top it off, you’re adding a new artist to it, you feel me? So I told Cam it sounded like a great look and we about to take over. I’m behind whatever Cam do, no homo, ’cause if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here.

Complex: When did he sit you down and talk to you?

Vado: Like a week before Miss Info had put it out. I was hearing it through the grapevine but me and him never spoke on it. One day he asked me to come to his house because he lives down the road from me in Edgewater. So I went to his crib, we sat and he asked me how I felt about it and I said that’s a good look. I mean me being from Harlem, I want to do this music right. I want to big up my borough. I want to be with cats from my town that could solidify me. That’s why I wanted to come up with Millz but when it didn’t happen with Millz. I didn’t really take it serious. But then I was like, “You know what? I’m nice.” To keep it 100 with you, I was like that dude in the ‘hood that was nice on the court, but never played in the league, never played college ball, but everybody in the streets knows he’s nice and they pump him up.
