I wanted to create something that the streets identifies with without making it like packaged cheap Spam. So I created the music, and it's basically a story and an epic like R Kelly's RB Opera. This is only the beginning.

It's tough in the Hip Hop industry to continue to create, because the powers that be want a throw away art. They didn't think Rap Music would even last. So instead of trying to get rid of rap music, because everyone benefits from it, they try to get rid of seasoned rappers, at a point in their careers when they finally know the ins and outs of the business aspect of their careers. You see what Prince did when he realized that he didn't own anything, he put slave on his cheek. He came to a point in his career where he was educated enough to be wiser in his choices and realized his true leverage power.

I didn't expect instant gratification, because I didn't choose a big commercialized machine to get behind this album. This is an independent album, and sometimes that appreciation takes years to receive. But I am grateful that the word of mouth on the West Coast and all coasts is back, maybe we can begin to start really moving some things again.

Snoop opened his little black book and called everybody up. I'm asking who's coming up here.

I do whatever you want man; I got that rap sh--.

[Daz Dillinger and Kurupt also give KDAY listeners the opportunity to get a sneak preview on Halloween. Daz states,] I think it's the right season, this CD is definitely not for the faint at heart. ... This is for the gangsters and hustlers and the women that love us. And even those in college, if you are being a gangster about getting your A's this is for you too. Hell the President of the United States is a gangster. Gangsters are global, and this album along with the albums to come will reflect that. I am just glad to be apart of KDAY, the original West Coast radio station. I wanted to come back and be apart of that team that held it down for the West Coast for decades.
