GANGSTASPARTY.com:What projects are you currently working on?
GEOLANI:Right now I'm working on my album "Who's The Boss?" . Just dropped a mixtape hosted by Dj Vlad called "Every Man Ain't A God Dam Boss".

GANGSTASPARTY.com: How do you feel about the current state of hip hop in NY right now and what should be changed?
GEOLANI: Queen Latifah said it best! U-N-I-T-Y …. Too much hating going on. Instead of getting paper together, everyone tryna run N.Y. People asking how can NY support Down South music when there's a million rappers in our city. The answer is there is no UNITY. Get off the ego trip and lets get paid!
GANGSTASPARTY.com:How do you feel about hip hop beefs?
