And now, despite a few minors setbacks along the way, Catfish Billy is gearing up to drop his long anticipated LP this November 21 right in time for the holidays. To celebrate the release, HipHopFiend decided to catch with Yela to talk about his love of Three 6 Mafia and Redman, balancing his rock and rap influences and partying to Beatles cover bands in the UK.

Although it’s hard for fans to discount much of anything in his discography, perhaps Tupac Shakur’s two most celebrated albums are All Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. For many fans, the debate over the two albums is complicated by Pac’s passing; both projects dropped in 1996, and many fans looked to the posthumously released Don Killuminati foranswers to his untimely death, leading it to top even the Beatles in first week sales. But for Complex, however, the debate over which is the superior album is simple question of quality. Check out their latest installment of “End of Discussion” to see why they think all eyes should be on The 7 Day Theory.
