To Shoom's surprise, Jamie Foxx dropped by the studio to promote his new album Hollywood. Ironically, it happened to be 4/20 -- the day weed smokers around the word celebrate -- so it was only right to ask Jamie if he would be partaking in any festivities that evening. During their quick sit down, the comedian, turned actor, turned musician, shared the concept behind his 5th studio album, his thoughts on chris brown's newfound fatherhood, what hollywood has taught him, his philosophy on marijuana and more!
