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.

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.

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

I'm business savvy and my will is only to win. I can't hit rock bottom any lower. It's only up from here. The weight is off the shoulders with that.

I've got the new single Close. We got the second single Dance we're going to follow up with. We're just making sure we make quality music the world can feel and that we can get on stage and have a presentation for the people.

I'm a well rounded artist and I love to make music and create and be different. Hopefully I get the opportunity to show the world that.

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

We've still got half of the world that don't know what I look like.

For the last year, I had to get out of my bubble.

I most definitely wanted to make a record out of it. Due to the fact of the negativity and things that transitioned over the years, I just wanted to give [Chris Rivers] his space. I had this record Danger which Free Smith produced the beat. It was one of the first beats I got when I started recording again and one of the first I sang to.

I had a record on the Terror Squad album My Kinda Girls, and then I had a record on the second Terror Squad album and was featured all over it. I wasn't really introduced into the game until about late 2000 where people got to see where I look like.

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'm just different. There are a handful of different types of genre of music that I would love to just jump into and people don't realize that I'm really good at those things. They just know me as Tony Sunshine, the guy that sang the hooks for Terror Squad.

Fortunately for me I'm a vocalist, I can sing forever. I'm not going to be pretty forever, but I'm going to sing forever!
