Well, he's a co-producer and co-songwriter with 3d and Daddy G, but they
seriously could have toured without him. I think he tried to keep the
group true to some hip hop roots that 3d was definitely willing to sever
ties with. I think anything new they do will be more rockish, more
Mezzanine, which Mush was definitely unsatisfied with (if i remember right,
they were having lots of arguemtns about Mezz and 3d finally just finished
it, giving it its harder, rougher edge.)

The members of MA can be a bit boring, but Horace Andy makes up for that
and then some. Definitely one of the most charismatic singers i have seen
in my life.
