Murdoch's son is the label manager or owner, sumptin' like that. Have met
him a couple of times, nice guy, and by the muzak Rawkus puts out, is into
doing some real shit on a bigger scale. So you have to respect that,
getting the music out there. Rawkus still puts out hardstep DnB 12's as
well, which is a lot more forward thinking than most hip hop labels, who
can't seem to bother with a remix, unless its an import or bootleg.
