French Montana’s Big Time Guide to Picking Up Chicks

Moroccan-raised South Bronx, N.Y., transplant French Montana has been married since 2007, so when he spoke with The BoomBox last week, we were planning to ask the recent Bad Boy signee to help us pen a "Married Man's Guide to Picking Up Chicks." Sadly for everyone involved, he informed us that his marriage had dissolved earlier this year.
