Follow Birdman along with Jay Sean & Mack Maine on the album release week of Priceless & All or Nothing. this video includes: Day 1 in NY going to different radio stations and doing live TV, also going to Pace University to talk to students, Day 2 going to New Orleans for his 15th annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Giveaway & Day 3 cameo album release party featuring Lil Wayne.

Potential first single from Missy’s next album, “Block Party.”
