Vinnie Paz (AOTP)Torture Mothafuckas!'We had mad fun making this record. Everyone put their heart and soul into it. It's good for all of us to come together and make music because we're all friends first and foremost. I've know all of these cats for at least 10 years. 'POSTED 03|18|2006
Blame OneTale of a Thief, Priest and Wizard'The Priest side of me loves to build, study and reason amongst the blessed.

PizdamenCrackin' a beer and some momma jokes'I met a girl from Poland about a year ago. Asked her if she knew what 'pizda' meant and she laughed her ass off. But she didn't give me no pizda. So when you meet a girl from Poland, don't say 'pizda'. Say: 'Nostrovia'.'POSTED 02|02|2006
Soul PlasmaAffectin' your innerself'If you understand what your religion means that can be a lot of power.

Xing N FoxMakin' it hot'Real MC's love the challenge. Fake ass MC's don't! We don't sit around all day worrying about appeasing the artists. We want them to always step up their game. Our sound gives them a unique opportunity to do this in a new way.'POSTED 02|01|2006
VanderslicePhoenix villain'I like rugged music with feeling behind it. I don't wanna say real because everyone says that shit, but that's what sound I go for with my music. I like music that provokes feeling, whether it be hypeness, sadness, anger, rage etc etc.'POSTED 01|17|2006
