Faith also goes on to detail how Hit Squad's Hurricane G. was a major bridge to her eventual romance with Biggie.

She talks about how after the loss of Biggie things just weren't the same for several years and details the meeting she had with Puff where she asked for him to not interfere with her leaving. They go on to discuss Pharrell asking Faith to sing like Lynn Collins on her and Talib's collab 'Broken Glass', why Faith asked Raekwon to join in on her remake of Biggie's 'Everyday Struggle' and Faith learning to navigate the ins and outs of independent labels versus big time record companies. 57:31 -- Faith's powerful lyrics on her song 'Real Things' relating to relationships is discussed and a big shout-out is given to Malik Pendleton who originally penned the words.

Talib goes on to tell why he feels it's been one of the best People's Party shows to date and Faith speaks about how right now she's fully focused on her son and advocating for other parents of special needs kids that are being taken advantage of by the system.
