The group reflects on clearing samples and their year-and-a-half-long journey to re-release their music. They also touch on their partnership with Nike, their forthcoming album, and their creative process. A notable moment includes resolving a past issue with N.O.R.E, while they also pay tribute to their recently-deceased member, Trugoy the Dove. Tune in for these and insights into music ownership, collaborations, and hip-hop history.
