Talk about your new album Mac & Cheese. How does it compare to your first album Excuse My French?
French Montana: I mean, Mac & Cheese is like my baby. It’s the first [mixtape] I put out right after we did Coke Wave, me and Max B. Mac & Cheese really stands for soulful music. So if you see the title and you’re already a fan of my work, you know I’m coming with epic music.

You’ve recorded a lot of music for it so far, right?
I recorded about 90-100 songs.

How do you have that much to talk about on 90 songs?
I mean, I go through 90 different things in 90 days, so every day it’s some new shit. You learn something new every day. I just love recording.

You’ve collaborated with a lot of people. Anyone you want to work with you haven’t gotten a chance to collaborate with yet?
I would love to work with Coldplay, Taylor Swift. I’m tryna see who else. You know, Max B again.

Although very much so hip hop, Frenchie reveals something dope about himself. After collaborating with artists Lil Jon, Ty Dolla $ign, Chinx (of course) and many more, the Bronx rapper wants to try his hand at working with pop and rock artists.
