The musical genius, Ryan Leslie, passed by 395 Hudson Street to chop it up with the Ebro in the Morning crew over at Hot 97. R.

He then brought Fab out to the stage to perform their extensive catalog of collab tracks together including “Addiction and “Lay Down,” just to name a few. To everyone’s surprise, G-Unit rappers Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd came out and ripped the stage along side R. Les and Loso. Some famous faces were in the house including Emily B, Drake’s OVO sound producer Mike Zombie, Victoria Secret model Lyndsey Scott and many other familiar faces.
