What can you tell me about the "ATL Crime Files"?

Oh, that was on a label called Black Owned Entertainment which became West World Records. The Crime Files records was a group of artists that I had in development and that I was trying to launch a label with. It's kind of like a teaser record. You know like a lot of labels, when they're in the beginning, in the embryo stages, they put out alot of these compilations to see who's gonna be catching the market place. That was kind of a transition for me. I was linked with Tommy Boy at that time and I was gonna took the record to Tommy Boy. But it was like a lot of hardcore stuff and I really wasn't having a great experience with Above The Law as far as having alot of creative control. The contract said I had creative control, but when it came down to it I actually hadn't. So I put the record out underground.


Have you ever thought about a digital re-release?

Well you know, no, I haven't. It's funny because nearly eight months ago I just started getting into the digital domain of things. I have alot of records that I could re-release digital. That would probably be good to let people know about it.
