I don't know him well enough to speak for him, but he's Louisiana, as far as I know. So I don't think that we have to worry about Lil Wayne.

- Oh, and I'm on him because--

- Yeah.

- --he's from NOLA, and he called them before he called us.

So we'll see.

- Yeah. And I need to feature, too. So--
