Everybody, I am honored to be able to sit here with Projektiles - back home. It's good to see you, son.
And I, you, my brother. Tell you what though...Call me Spitta Shah now. My new name is Shaheen, and the connotation of "projektiles" is not how I want to present myself to the people anymore.
That is what's up.
Tell you what - you have been workin', mayne! You've only been out for a week and a half, and you've already got 3 tapes on the streets! How did you do that?
Well, as you know there's not much to do in prison...so I had been educatin' my mind with righteous teachings and writing more.
That - and you know we got computers behind the walls now, there was a C.O. that snuck in Frootyloops because everybody in there wanted me to work. I had a lot of fans in there. Some of the other brothers locked up say they got locked up to my music. That really reasonated with me, and I won't underestimate the power my music has to influence.
That's wild...so is this gonna change your music? I mean, I only got a chance to hear one of the tapes and...it's hard...I mean, it's what i'm used to from you...
Well yeah - but unnastand Son - I was in prison! I was writin' about what I saw, and what real niccas was doin' and sayin' in there. I had to keep it real. But i'm balanced now. I got that there to stay true to my fans who stayed down, but one tape is my prayers, and the last one is for the young'uns who are meeting me as an artist for the first time now. I get to be "Shah" to them instead of being confined to the personage of "Projektiles"...or at least after two more albums, when I will have fulfulled my obligation to my label as the artist known as "Projektiles".
