Over the past few months, Payroll Giovanni and Cardo have been everywhere due to their latest project Big Bossin' Vol. 2. At the tail end of 2017, the two of them were announced as the latest members to the Def Jam family. Payroll recently joined us for the latest episode of "On The Come Up" where he speaks on his latest project with Cardo, Doughboy Cashout, influences and more.

Payroll Giovanni and Cardo have an incredible chemistry together on wax and in person. The two of them dropped off the Big Bossin' Vol. 2 project earlier this year. He explained how the two ended up linking up.

"Cardo, he a big dreamer, man. He see the big picture before I even see it." He said, "Cardo, he special. He reached out to me through e-mail. I ain't even think it was really him. He was like, 'I really mess with you music. I love your sound. I love what you're doing.' I'm like 'I'm a fan of yours.'" He said, "He sent me a couple beats. I laid 'em down, the rest was history.' Our chemistry is like none other."

He also speaks on the "Payroll" sound, Doughboyz Cashout, CTE and more.
