Always expect the unexpected so nothing comes as a surprise. At one point, some took it as a joke when Fred The Godson revealed he wanted to rap. Now, Fred The Godson is one of the biggest rappers in the game. With a major name, it is only fitting to have a major crew, which is TBM.
TBM, for those who do not know, stands for Talkin’ Bout Money. There are several members in this crew and they were all showcased on the Talkin’ Bout Money, Vol. 1 mixtape. An introduction, of sorts, to the TBM crew, Bam Vito is a member who came up big on the tape.
Bam Vito talked about some of the things he has lined up with Hip Hop Vibe. Since he appeared on the mixtape and even led a song, Bam Vito spoke on the TBM mixtape. As a member of TBM, Bam Vito also talked about Fred The Godson and his upcoming solo work.

Speaking of solo work, when should we expect something from you? I dropped Smoking in Heaven on DatPiff late last year. I’m now working on part two, so you should be hearing something from me real soon.
