"We both knew that the track was insane and didn't really feel that BG did it justice so we snatched it! It was the last song we wrote and it almost didn't make the album but in the end we got our way and fortunatley, it made the cut!"
J: "The Big Payback" has always been my shit and since I'm naturally a vengeful muthafucka anyway, this wasn't a stretch for me at all, and that "I Will Follow Him" shit is genious! But don't get it twisted though, I'm not following a nigga no where! lol"
A: "It's about obsession and being absolutely consumed with a person. Love will make you do strange things, and stalkers are real; trust us... we know all too well! But this song epitomizes what we do; Melodic Infusion. It's about taking our inspirations and building on them."

"This is song epitomizes what we do; 'Melodic Infusion'. We take our inspirations and build on them and COLDPLAY inspired us. Chris Martin is a genius when we heard the track we lost our minds! It was a priviledge and an honor. "
J: "When we wrote this song I was surrounded by snakes so I was just venting! I also wanted to put the young punks on some game; letting people close to you is not always a good idea. So be very careful and proceed with caution...
A: "Things are happening really fast for us and sometimes it's hard to tell who really has our best interest at heart. But fortunatley there are 2 of us; while you might get lucky and get something past one of us, I'll be damned if you get it past both of us!"

Blacks still account for 54 percent of reported HIV numbers, while only making up 18 percent of the national population. "HIV/AIDS is crippling our community and if this song will compel one person to think twice about having unprotected sex and wear a condom or to go out and get an HIV test then our job here is done!"
"TURN ON DA FANS"
INFLUENCES: Rick James; Donna Summer; Houston Texas; The Spice Girls; Martha and The Vandellas
"This song was written on one of the hottest nights of the year and it was storming so the electricity was out. It had to be over 100 degrees in the house that night and from it came fire; "Turn On Da Fans" and the rest is history!"
A: "I found the track and loved it, but JAPAN hated it! He said it sounded old fashioned and he thought that we needed a girl to come in and sing the hook. But he trusted me and allowed me to guide us and that song brought us closer together."
J: "I don't remember writing or recording this song. I was still mourning the loss of Anna Nicole Smith when we did it and all I remember is being really sad and sleepy. But "Fans" is blazin! It's really hott & dirty & sweaty and southern and yall should REALLY be playin that shit this summer!"
