Back in January, Memphis talked about his music biz absence and not wanting to force out an album.
“IÔÇÖm just not passionate about an album. I donÔÇÖt think nobody buy albums. Nobody cares about albums. Music donÔÇÖt last that long no more to really drop an album anymore. An album lasts about a week now. Then the next day they on somebodyÔÇÖs new single on the Internet. Your album is forgotten about. I make records all the time. I got a whole stash of records. ThatÔÇÖs why IÔÇÖm getting back into the groove of dropping records.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Last year, Bleek talked about Jay Z launching his Tidal music streaming service.
“IÔÇÖm not familiar with none of these streaming sites. IÔÇÖm new to all of ÔÇÿem. TIDAL, to me, is worth it. I pay my $10 subscription as well. It ain’t like I got the free account and, on my app. I have every album I didnÔÇÖt even ask for. I can listen to any album that just was released. I got over 50 new albums if they dropped today, they all on my phone right now.” (Shade 45)
