People News. The End of Gangsta Grillz?
People News. The End of Gangsta Grillz?: Mixtapes are illegal. They always have been. It's a fact that's always been overlooked, even by record companies who often use them as promotional tools. Atlanta's DJ Drama was just reminded of this recently when he and his partner, DJ Cannon were arrested for bootlegging.
Drama's extremely popular mixtape series, Gangsta Grillz, has featured many popular MCs ranging from Young Jeezy to underground heroes Little Brother.

His 'Gangsta Grillz' compilations have helped define this decade’s Southern rap explosion."
