Released in 2021, Call Me If You Get Lost won the Grammy for the Best Rap Album in 2022. This was DJ Drama's first Grammy and Tyler, the Creator's 2nd. Considering the legendary run we've seen with Gangsta Grillz, from Jeezy to Lil Wayne, it's pretty surprising to see the album this far up on Drama's list.

We're talking about adjusting to retirement and how Lou would have done things a little different if he had the chance to do so. Lou discusses the fact he wouldn't have completely cut off from the sport after retiring, that he would have kept some projects going so he could still be involved and readjust in a more gradual manner.
