We all been trying to get off; me, J-Kwon, the Clipse, the Youngbloodz."

Bone Crusher added, "This album is a bunch of records I did right when 'Never Scared'came out and before I signed with Arista. You're gonna hear a lot of hunger like 'Never Scared.'It's that type of music."

In related news, Bone Crusher is one of the cast members of Celebrity Fit Club 4. The rapper said, "Right now it's going real well. I'm the number-one guy for weight loss at Celebrity Fit Club.'We're doing our thing, I'm getting skinny."
