D.O.E. said he definitely came across some tough times recently, as he alluded to in his guest verse on Timbaland's "The Way I Are" last year ("I ain't got a big ol' house/ I rent a room in a house"). Out with the old, in with the new.

"I'm letting everybody know it's a new me," he said about the mixtape The Death of John Doe: The Rise of D.O.E. "It's not John Doe no more. I came in the game, '04, I signed to Timbaland as John Doe. A lot happened. Situation with Interscope didn't go right at first. I fell on my face, couldn't put music out. Went flat broke. It was crazy. Then big homie put me on 'The Way I Are.' We started touring around the world, getting money. I had to let everyone know what it was. People were like, 'Son, what happened to you?' Too many questions. I put it all in one CD for free."

There's Timbo beats on there, Danjahandz gives a track and Joell Ortiz appears on the track "Watchin' Me." The skit ahead of that record is hilarious, but it's no laughing matter on "Streets Been Watching," though.

"It basically explains how dudes was looking at me sideways," D.O.E. said. "I fell on my face. Dudes was looking at me crazy. I explained everything, how I went from [owning] a Hummer to [riding] the train. Sh-- was deep, D. On 'Bottom of the Barrel,' I talk about my hard times and how it wouldn't stop me. I was gonna get to the top." ...

Shout-out to DJ Skee for banging out a new deal to bring his show to 102.7 KIIS-FM's HD2 New Music Channel. The show airs on Sunday nights.
