I found this at thickonline.com. They also got an interview with Young Bleed, where he speaks about how he hooked up with West Coast Mafia.

Thick: What did you do first when you got out of jail yesterday?
C-Bo: Got my hands on some of that good, you know what I mean (laughs). Just lounged out with a couple of my guys, and made up with the Mrs.
T: What business can you get done for your label when you're locked up?
C-Bo: I can't call it, man. It's crazy, man.
T: How did you just get an album done if you were locked up?
C-Bo: I had most of that done before I left. But we just had to put it together the right way.
T: You're a west coast vet and you've worked with a lot of the greats, how'd you form the Thug Lordz with Yukmouth?
C-Bo: Me and Yuk are two pioneers from up out the north, Northern California. He was in the Bay, I was in the Valley. We both had tough styles, how we rap, we was grimy. So, we finally came together and just represented for the Thug Lordz. We brung it together like that, and came out with the album.
T: Talk about working with Pac?
C-Bo: The best memories of all right there, working with a legend. A real, true soldier. Man, it was like lovely, he showed a muthafucker mad love. He was a real guy. He shouldn't be there. He tried to help me shine. That's what's happenin'.
T: You also worked on an album with former rival Brotha Lynch Hung but yall didn't do many songs together.
C-Bo: Lynch was doin' his thang and I was busy working with my artists at the time. We put the first one together, but I'm out (of jail) now so we gon' try to come together on the second one.
T: How did you discover the Mob Figaz?
C-Bo: I heard about 'em back in the day when they was first rappin' in Pittsburg. One of my homeboy's was like, "Man, I know where some hot cats is Bo. Them niggas is like the Outlawz." I was busy doin' my C-Bo thing but I wanted to have something else, help build, you what I mean? So, I went out there and checked them dudes out. I listened to of all them rap, there was more people out there too, them is the ones I picked. Them five, I possed them up with me, and we all struck back to my town. They was with me ever since, moved right on in. That's how that was.
T: Is there plans for a new Mob Figaz album?
C-Bo: We gon' try to come together as the Mob Figaz. You know Feddy (Fedex)...all of them got they solo projects they doin'. I'm sure they gon' hit me up. It's all love. They gon' holler at me, I'm just touchin' down. We gon' put something together though.
T: You hyped about getting back in the studio?
C-Bo: I done wrote so many songs, I'm just relaxing. I'm about to probably jump back into the studio in a week or two, start putting this solo album together. And I've been working with my artists, we just trying to get these albums together right now.
T: Tell us a lil' about the West Coast Mafia roster and what's coming up.
C-Bo: Man, we finna come out with the Young Bleed, we got Killa Tay, he's finishing up his mixing. Then, we coming with my solo album. We got the group album, the West Coast Mafia Gang, we puttin' that together. We got a lot of work right now, as far the new stuff we comin' out with.
T: How'd you get down with Young Bleed?
C-Bo: I just heard he was trying to do the independent thing, and I just reached out to him. I was like, "I got a plug over here where we can come together and get some money." And that's how real street dudes get down. We tryin' to fatten up the pockets. Start mixin' that west coast and that south together. We gotta corner that market right there. So, hopefully me and him comin' together doin' this gon' raise the streets.
T: And on the southern note, you're a fan of screwed & chopped and DJ Screw (RIP) was a fan of your's.
C-Bo: Screw the one who put me down out there. He the one who got them muthafuckers really on me and shit. There's mad love to that right there, for real.
T: What's the word on West Coast Mafia Films?
C-Bo: Man, you know, I'm working with a few people. We just tryin' to see what they come up with. I wouldn't mind going into film and what not, as long as we got a company that we making money and putting the movie out, we should be cool. That's just another step of the game.
T: Do you have anything planned?
C-Bo: Well, shit I got Jessy Terrero that shot most of the Ruff Ryders shit, and he shot my last video, as far doin' the Thug Lordz and West Coast Mafia Gang before I went away. He's doin' a lot of writing and filmin'. So, I'ma hit him up in a few, see what he got going.
