On Deals Offered: "[ABB Records was] interested, but we weren’t about to do that. We didn’t do that, and that wasn’t in our plans. A couple other independent labels reached out to us, and that didn’t go through. … Right now, we signed a non-exclusive independent deal with Snoop’s manager Ted Chung with Two Tone Elephants. So it’s still not exclusive, so we’re technically still searching for a deal with a major. Right now we’re still in the independent lane, because it’s crazy, the music industry is changing so much. We’re looking at what’s happening now, and these cats be signed to the major label like they’re locked up in prison, and not really getting the love that we’re seeing. … Plus there’s so many online marketing strategies that you really don’t need a major label for. So we’re just going to work it that way. We’re going to continue to build our movement strong, and have them come to us. But we definitely have their interests, we have a lot of interest from major places. They’re waiting, and we’re waiting," says Mibbs.

On The Album: Like: "[Releasing it in March is] the plan man, but we may push it back, depending. We just shot the video for "Fat Boys," it’s crazy. We’re going to work the singles first before we start the release date, just to continue to build the movement. But we’ve got some fresh joints. We’ve got some production from DJ Khalil, Swizz Beatz, Illmind tossed us some joints, he did Little Brother’s record. Frequency was on Snoop’s last album, Exile did Blu’s Below the Heavens and Mobb Deep, 50 Cent [songs]. JakeOne sent us some joints, shout out to JakeOne. … Swiff D is our in-house producer, and he’s sweet. He’s on Snoop’s album that’s coming out, he’s on Talib’s album that’s out now. I wouldn’t even call him and up-and-coming producer, because his name is sorta buzzing right now. He did our first two singles (including “Fat Boys 08”). … We’ve got some bangers on our album, I’m not even going to lie to you."
