[People] don't know the talent and I want to show them.

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.

I love all kinds of music. Everybody knows that Nas is my favorite lyricist in the universe. I'd love to collaborate with him on something.

I was sort of retired, you could say. During that process, I was recording here and there. I put out several songs expressing myself to the fans and letting them know of my whereabouts and what I was doing. I gave them insight into my situation. To my surprise, the fans have been very supporting and understanding.

[Big Pun] loved the fact that I could sing, everybody around us were rappers. A lot of people didn't know that Pun really, really loved r&b music.

Now I'm making a comeback into the industry. Everyone is receiving me with open arms.

I met Big Pun when I was a young boy. I think that he really gravitated to my innocence.
