A. Around the end of 2007 but as a whole (mean all 5 artist) have only been together slightly over a year

Today everybody is a rapper when did you realize you wanted to be on the business end of things ?
A. Me & Lil Nardy started off rapping together and I fell back to push him as a solo artist and we were throwing NO ID parties in the city and we threw a back 2 school bday bash after we paid our over head we had like $10,000 and the club owner said we brought out the 3rd most ppl at the club including major artist that's when I decided this was my lane!

BMB has a nice roster with each artist having their own distinctive sound.
What can we be on the lookout for in the near future from each of them ?
A. Lil Nardy has a upcoming project entitled "Up In Smoke" that'll be dropping in the fall, Spank Lee is working on "Tax Free 2" and also he teamed up with label mate Bookie on a mixtape they're currently working on entitled "Wright Bros". Its BJ new mixtape #TheLostTape drops 6.25.12 and Gutta Grands just released a new mixtape entitled "True Reflections" that you can get on datpiff.com

What southern music has influenced you the most (any genre) ?
A. Rap of course and blues because it has a lot of feeling and emotions in it and that's big in the south but I also grew up in Detroit for a good period of my childhood and I have to give credit to their music for influencing my grind as well!
