PFG With Dj Pup Dawg
In an exclusive backstage interview at TD Garden, DJ Pup Dawg sits down with Fayetteville artist PFG (Pretty Face Gangster) to discuss his J. Cole-produced album, Never Say Die. PFG reflects on performing on Boston's iconic arena stage, transitioning away from street life to build a lasting legacy, and how a missed placement on J.

The North Carolina rapper breaks down the 90/10 business-to-music rule, the origin behind his moniker, unreleased songs still in the vault, and what it means to have the ultimate co-sign from J.
