ABYSS: Over the years tribeland records has been getting a steady buzz locally and not only in the hip-hop scene. I remember the first time i heard of you guys i was at a homeless shelter in easton some college kids came to volunteer and started talking about how tribeland records is the heart of 10 hip-hop. When tribeland records was put together where you guys expecting to make such a big impact on the local scene?
