"Yeah me and Proof did a joint together. I think its going to be for his album but it's not the last joint we're gonna do. We got more surprises in store for the fans."

"Hell yea. This shit is some real music man. Not like the others weren't real music, but this shit is the truth. Mafuckas got a feel on this new record cuz its so real and accessable."

"I was born in Atlanta in 1978. Raised by a single parent, my mother. Raised in Thomasville heights, the pjs. My childhood can be described as a hustle to find a way out of no way for me and my family."

"Dina Rae, the Purple Gang, 2nd Promatic album, 2nd D12 album and My clothing line Squo!"

"Smoke alotta weed. Fuck the shit outta my bitch and listen to "The Entity" over and over just 2 remind myself that I did somethin positive for once."

"The old school djs really influenced me. Back in my time, I used to rock a Juice, Kid Capri or Clue tape. Right now, I'm definitely feelin' Green Lantern, Clinton Sparks and Whoo Kid."

"I was always amazed by producers like Muggs, The Bomb Squad (Public Enemy), Dr. Dre, Pete Rock. These are the cats that would take a certain sample, and then turn it into something totally different."

"That dude should have never said anything about Em and the rest of the Dozen. He's just mad cuz he isn't selling any records and blames everyone but himself. Come'on, How many artists do you know that has the Neptunes and Eminem on the same album and can't sell units. THAT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE"
