Danny!The next Jukie is...'At first I really didn?t think I?d be their ideal artist. Even after they picked me it was way too surreal. But after Mr. Lif and El-P reached out on separate occasions and told me that they were genuinely feeling my stuff, I felt more at ease.'POSTED 07|01|2007
Buff 1The King of Purity'Pure hip-hop to me is anyone making music from the heart and clearly caring about the art-form. Some people would say people like E-40, T.I. or Lil Wayne is not pure hip-hop but I disagree. I think they are the essence of pure hip-hop.'POSTED 06|01|2007

K BangerLet the truth be told'I decided to go with a label like Shaman Work because, let's face it, I'm very busy and it's not worth killing yourself over promotion and record-selling resources if someone else has it covered better than you do. No man is an island, feel me?'POSTED 06|01|2007
