Artist: B.G.

Representing: Chopper City/ New Orleans

Mixtape: Hood General

411: Come NBA All-Star Weekend, we might just see a Hot Boys reunion: The four members have all been talking among themselves about dropping an album this year. Some new songs have been recorded, and B.G. says he wants to try and Don King a show, since the All-Star Game is going to be in their hometown.

"I'mma reach out to Juvie and Wayne and see if they wanna come together and do a Hot Boys reunion [show]," he told us last week. "Everybody come together, and we can go out with a bang."

We will stay tuned for that. In the next couple of weeks, Gizzle will put out a new mixtape with DJ Drama, Hood General, to lead into his album Too Hood to Be Hollywood.

"The same way I came in the game, that's the same way I'm going out — G'd up and soldiered down," B.G. said of his LP concept. "What you see is what you get. Everything I ever did that crossed over, I made the game cross over to me. I'm not too 'hood for Hollywood — I'll go to Hollywood and turn it out. But [at the same time,] I'm too 'hood to be Hollywood. I love these streets. It gives me the inspiration."

For his mixtape, B.G. used a bunch of new producers. The album, which was executive produced by T.I., features Cool and Dre, Mannie Fresh and Scott Storch.

Joints To Check For:

* "I Hustle" remix (featuring Young Jeezy and Maino). "This was hard on the album, but it's even harder on the mixtape," B.G. said. "Jeezy is one of the realest in the game. We see each other in Atlanta. When he's in the N.O., we get down heavy. That's my partna. I was listening to the record, and I was [thinking], 'Who's the perfect person to get on there?' That hustle talk. He talks that talk like regular conversation."

* "Slippin' " "Every real G across America is scared of ... slippin'. Everybody I know is scared of slippin'. I know I am. ... On this mixtape, I didn't really rap over anybody's beat, because I wanted to do me. I got some freestyles, but it's mostly songs. I ain't wanna do nobody else. I could have got on the song and made you feel like you should have gotten me for the remix. But I decided to not steal nobody else's crack."

* "Born Hustler" "I'm just spitting that rough, rugged, raw B.G. flavor. I'm talking about the streets of New Orleans, man, where I was born and raised. Just representing uptown."
