"We actually thought that they broke up that year! I recall
that I went to BoJeux Park(lol) that year and they were playing every other
groups' song, and KING POSSE was not available. The DJ would instead play their
1996 track. Kids were always happier with King Posse's tracks even the old one.
We were all waiting and waiting as the main even approaches but
Nothing/Nada/Zip/Anyen. Maybe 10 days before the carnival, this videos came out
on Telemax's (CH5) with Paul Villefranche and Nadine(she was hot). They started
videomax claiming to have a great surprise for everyone. I guess it was meant
to be. This was proof that their manager was a Marketing Genius. Listening to
the song now, you can tell they planned all along. RIP to the members who died
(Alex, Chov), and Thank you to this group. As far as entertainment is
concerned, they truly represented their names. And believe me, the remixes were
a lot more explosive. Thanks KP and Fred."

fan"
