Memphis native Juicy J isn't just an artist on Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang imprint. During a recent interview with XXLMag.com, the veteran rapper discussed being appointed as head of the label's A&R department.

The Three 6 Mafia rapper spoke further on the new position stating, "I’m always looking out for talented singers, producers, rappers, but, I'm only fuckin' with people who is ready to work."

"This ain’t no easy street," he continued. "Everybody who got it right now, has worked for it. I don’t wanna waste nobody's time and I don’t want nobody wasting [mine]. We got too much money tied up in what we doing so, I’m only looking for people that is serious."
