TONY FUKKING DRAPER!!!
You cannot talk about the LEGACY OF THE SOUTH without speaking of this man and his company SUAVE HOUSE....
of course i grew up on 8ball and MJG and Tela as a teen in the bible belt...but i was really into MR. MIKE of the SOUTH CIRCLE movement...
his cut "ATTITUDES" dropped alot of game about how to operate as an individual and dealing with fukked up byatches AND niccas whom fail to realize how important it is to have a GOOD ATTITUDE...

As for what HAPPENED to SUAVE HOUSE??...
let's just say while the rap-a-lots, no limits and cash money's were hungry for distribution deals and having to do the "tap dance" for the massa (the majors)
Tony was on some "fukk dem krakkers" shyt....i remember he said in an interview how sick he was of dealing with the majors, and that if the next one "knocking on his door" can't help him push 8ball and MGJ into a larger market share and get beyond gold status, which they've been doing for years..then what's the point?
gotta respect duke
The Industry hates him and alot of other fukkboy moguls some of them "black" hate on him too...
Damn shame how they tried to tie him into the B.I.G murder conspiriacy by concocting some crazy story about him supplying the car used in the shooting ....
but the man is like "ENERGIZER" he takes a licking but keeps on ticking...
last venture he had was partnering with some former Koch execs and forming BCD distibution which was putting alot of those street mixtapes in the retail stores i.e (dj drama, scream) etc.
it was a nice "hustle" till the FEDS came based on the claim made by major distibutors that it was nothing more than a legalized "bootlegging scheme"............
Tony always finds away to piss off the "big boys".....
gotta luv it!
