Thank you to DJ Modesty for his incredible scratched hook on Hard Knocks!! Big up DJ Modesty, The Real HipHop Show, all the homies in France!!! You have supported both of us throughout the years and we cannot thank you enough for that!
Thank you to Jolene for the beautiful hook on Anything You Want. Technically, this is a remix because Mac and Jolene actually recorded another song together, but one day Mac cut one of the vocal lines out, laid it on this beat and the rest is history………Thank you, Jolene.

Thank you to El Ay for the amazing hook on Back In The Day. It really helped bring the track to life and it was amazing to collaborate with you.
