for the record... Rakim left aftermath to go into business with another partner... he got more money out of the deal and if i remember correctly he has more control over his shyt and i think he's a co-owner... it was a business decision... Ra won't say who his partners are ... just that they're loaded!

anywho... i'd go to maybe a def jam affiliate or maybe shady records... almost got w/ universal but this dude fucked us over with no lube and killed the deal for us... fuck 'em!
