“In early 1996 i completed my first album and turned it in. MCA suggested I work with Questlove and The Roots to see what would come of it. perhaps, a HIT! now, in my mind, that was D’Angelo’s crew. and since I’ve never been one to ride someone else’s wave, i declined. and honestly, in my gut, i didn’t feel Quest wanted to work with me. long story short, i agreed. I took a couple cats from my crew, Keith Crouch and Kipper Jones with me to Philly. Got to the studio, met The Roots and Questlove. Quest said, ‘what’s up?’ and left. never to return. found this cassette. transferred it for your listening pleasure….. hurry before its too late…..”
