"I mean I contributed, I really did, With my latest song I contributed. Dey Sayin' was released as a Throwback Recordings production, just look in iTunes you'll see that. I sent that song on a CD to Sunburn and he sent it back saying it was "too distorted" that was a gift not a feedback opportunity" - Rival
Rival also has news for fans on the production deal with Dot 10,000... Sunburn and Dot 10,000 are friends, and have been since early in their hip hop careers. Dot discontinued contact with Matrix and Rival, most likely due to the termination of working terms with Throwback Recordings as of October 28th, 2010."I feel like I need my fans support right now more than ever, but at Throwback I felt more like a side project for those guys, someone they could show their new tracks to. I take music seriously but I feel like I wasn't taken seriously at Throwback. I mean I have respect for Sunburn and his achievements in music, but I felt like an outcast with those guys, always seeing me as a tight rhymer but never as a serious artist. Stage time is a must in this business, and I never got that with those guys, so i hope to be able to progress forward and if Throwback and my paths cross again maybe we could still do some work on a few projects, but YES I do plan to continue making music, I just need my fans..." - Rival
