“Number one, Grand Hustle is definitely not dismantled, we unfortunately did downsize [on staff] & relocate. We’re doing business, just in a lighter way. A smarter way, due to our current situation.
We don’t have much business to do, not much going on, why pay people when unfortunately there’s not much going on? Same thing that the major labels are doing, it’s no different. Supply & demand, at the end of the day. It’s just the way of the business.
It’s no secret we’ve taken hits, back to back, with Tip’s absence [serving out his prison term]. We’re partners, we talk about everything, no matter if he’s in or he’s out. It’s Grand Hustle, so we communicate with one another.”
