Maroon 5 is crazy to me, I would love to work with them.

Being gone for so long and coming back into the game, I'm the type of person to reinvent myself pretty often and I can adapt to pretty much whatever genre is popping at the moment.

I had to fall back and rethink and get into the studio and listen to real r&b music. This is what I do and this is what I need to do.

When I first got into the studio once again, and I started hearing the beats, the anger and bitterness was coming out of me. I guess somewhat I was also being brainwashed by what was going on today. I thought that to fit in, I had to do what was hot right now, which is not the case.

I have over 150 or 200 records recorded. We have so many EP's and LP's. It's just picking the best records to put the best possible album together.

It is a blessing. When I first got wind of [Chris Rivers] taking the rap thing serious and wanting to make a career out of it.

We're not going to get into how many deals I've had. I don't think there is a label that I was signed to that we didn't deliver an album. Every time the album got ready to be mixed and mastered, it was always a situation. That's neither here nor there, because Tony Sunshine is a different guy now, a different entity.
