		In addition to his own release, there’s still plenty of activity going in the MuzikMafia camp, as would be expected from an entity responsible in various incarnations for sales of more than 7 million units in 2004.
		But the great thing is it showed us how much the audience really wanted music that didn’t sound like it was cranked out to resemble something else from two months ago.
