Thanks to Rick Rivera of 1Tribe for putting me up on this whole Pro Tools thing and the support along with it. Without that jewel, we couldn't have gotten the sound we have.
Thanks to Poundaproblem of Groundwurk Ent. for always helping me when I was constantly bugging him with a million questions. Appreciate it.
Thanks to my wife. Without you, none of this would be.

Surg & Hellfire grew up together in Trenton, NJ and both started rapping as early teens in the early 90's but never worked on music together at the time. Hellz joined UE and later moved on to being a producer. In 08, the duo re-linked and what was supposed to be just a 1 or 2 song collab turned into 60 songs, which turned into a partnership and two LP's! Together, the two define PURE CHEMISTRY!
