Jay Bombaye (Lead Engineer) & Tha Jerm (Producer) of production collective, "Spread Of Infection", recently sat down with TheFactsRemain.com to discuss their contributions to Lloyd Banks "All Or Nothing: Failure's No Option".
Jay Bombaye
The Queens natives shed light on Banks' involvement with his DJ Drama-hosted project, aside from penning the lyrics hardcore fans consider worthy of critical acclaim within this interview. They also touch on how the dynamic of SOI operates, as well as the acquisition of Beat Butcha.
Beat Butcha
The musical contributions of Jerm, Doe Pesci, and Beat Butcha served as the soundbed for the majority of the highly anticipated project. The three producers managed to successfully land an impressive nine (out of 16 total) placements under the S.O.I banner, despite all being featured individually on Banks' Cold Corner 2 (2011) and V6: The Gift (2012). Bombaye served as the ears and hands behind the finished product, fine tuning the PLK's signature tone to mesh seamlessly with the instrumentals provided to create a final product enjoyable by Banks' core supporters and casual listeners alike.
Tha Jerm provides us with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look on how "Pain In Variety" as created prior to the conclusion of the presentation.

Spoke to @AdrienBroner about @ChinoMaidana rematch. He wants rematch badly. 'My mind is set on war,' he said. Story up soon. #boxing
— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) January 10, 2014
24-year old Adrien Broner isn't taking a lot of time off after losing his WBA welterweight belt to Marcos Maidana by unanimous decision in December. The previously undefeated Cincinnati boxer has exercised his rematch clause and will fight Maidana again in April.
ESPN boxing writer Dan Rafael confirmed the news from Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer.
Schaefer said Maidana-Broner II could be 4/19 or 4/26 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., or again at Alamodome in San Antonio. #boxing
— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) January 10, 2014
"The Problem" was knocked down twice in the first bout and was consistently hammered by hard shots from Maidana, but proved his toughness by lasting the full 12 rounds. He says the rematch will have a different outcome.
I give props when it's due and @ChinoMaidana out hustled me that night but this rematch will be different!!!!
— Adrien Broner (@AdrienBroner) January 8, 2014
Broner, a three-division champion, who has held belts in the lightweight, super featherweight and welterweight divisions, will enter the rematch with a record of 27 Wins (22 knockouts, 5 decisions, 0 no contest), 1 Loss, 0 Draw.
The 30-year-old "Chino" Maidana has held the light welterweight belt and currently holds the WBA championship he took from Broner. He will enter the ring with a record of 35 Wins (31 knockouts, 4 decisions), 3 Losses (3 decisions), 0 Draws.
Who's your pick to win the rematch?

50 Cent was very busy and in high demand by the media this week at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show. The G-Unit mogul rolled out the new SMS Audio Sports headphones.
He took some time out from his busy schedule to talk about the new cans, Carmelo Anthony joining the SMS Audio team, the current state of G-Unit, whether he would ever work with Young Buck or The Game again, Timbaland, if he would be open to Pharrell producing an entire album for him and more.
Check out the interview by Complex's Alex Bracetti (@AlexBracetti)
So you’re back in Sin City for CES 2014. The lineup is sounding dope. Tell the people what the new SMS collection consists of.
We got about five or six new products for 2014, but there is an additional product coming out for different areas throughout the New Year. The two biggest things announced were the Sports Edition Over-Ear and Carmelo Anthony’s participation with SMS Audio. The passion for music is a consistent thing because for professional athletes, they have to discipline themselves physically to be conditioned for the actual sport and play at the top level. Music takes their mind off it.
The headphone game is ridiculously crowded, and unless your name is Beats, it’s difficult to snatch a piece of the audio market. In what ways do you see SMS winning right now?
I’ve launched SMS in 59 countries. We pretty much turned it into Adidas. Nike is strong in America, but internationally, Adidas has soccer. Huge. It’s a lot of different things and territories. I don’t know if it has a connection with my touring at those territories. If you’ve had huge success out there in the hip-hop culture over the past decade, you have the ability to tour in areas that weren’t open markets before.
Being out here in Vegas, what’s some of the hottest tech you’ve seen at the show?
There is so much cool shit out here that it’s crazy. Depends on what you into. I like nice stuff in the house.
You're probably talking 4K TVs. Maybe Vizio’s new 120-inch screen would look dope in your mansion.
I’ll look for all that stuff. Now, I rather have small spaces than have everything I want in them to create comfort for me. I own really big properties. So you know, I rather have the Jetsons house and a two-bedroom joint on the top of the building, and still go outside so I don’t have to deal with people than the really big house. I don’t use the space. No matter how many bedrooms you have in your estate, you’re only gonna sleep on one bed.
Wearable tech was one of the biggest trends at the show. Bunch of Google Glass competitors came through. What’s your view on computing eyewear?
It looks goofy, until they start to change the lenses. When Google Glass has eyewear companies creating lenses for it, it’ll change. You’ll probably see Ray-Band, and Cartier with the clip-on. It won’t feel goofy then and will look different.
Would you rock a pair?
Yeah, it depends on what though. I’m afraid of what happens to it when everyone is conditioned for it. Cause then it takes away all the privacy. So if you wear Google Glass while dude is at the urinal, every little thing becomes, “Oh, my man 50 Cent was kicking it in…”
Let’s put the spotlight on your SMS co-partner, Timbaland. We haven’t heard or seen much from him regarding the brand. What’s his status in general at the moment?
He was the right guy to develop the signature sound for the headset. So it is a process. Before when I would get different headphones tuned with different sounds to test, he gets them now. So I don’t have to go through that process. Overall, implementing different functionalities is how you improve the product.
Speaking of dope producers, I have to bring Complex’s open letter to Jimmy Iovine on having Pharrell produce your next album. Is that something you’re even remotely interested in exploring after dropping the next LP?
I respect Pharrell as a producer and like a lot of material from different people. But I haven’t had a project come out with one producer. Get Rich or Die Tryin’ didn’t have one producer. The Massacre or none of my other material either. I’m flattered that Complex would put that out publically, but when you guys say what you would want, I don’t give a fuck what you would want.
A magazine company doesn’t tell me how to make a record. Just be a critic of what I actually create. I’m fine with it whether they like it or they don’t. But no one should tell an artist what the art is. You don’t tell a painter what to paint. I don’t know what that shit would be. How do you know? How do any of them know if the records aren’t produced?
There’s a point where you have so much success in front of people, the artist community creates this cloud or shadow of a doubt on whether you think he can do it. They feel that way at the moment. And because they see you consistently winning, when the new material comes out they say, “oh, it’s cool, but it’s not Get Rich or Die Tryin’. We’re experiencing it right now. They’ll talk about [Lil] Wayne’s new mixtape. I thought Dedication 5 was dope. And when I hear that energy, I know he’s going through that. That’s the Curtis thing, the Curtis album and where I was at during that point.
Good point. So is Street King Immortal still on deck as your next music project?
There’s an album I am putting out before Street King Immortal. The title is called Animal Ambition. It’s an untamed desire to win. The record is overall about prosperity, ambition, and has an entrepreneurial energy—it’s all from a distorted perspective. I just been really excited about the concept, been writing and had a lot of time to create material for the release because it’s taken so long.
So when you listen the record, you’ll see it because I told you it, it’s about ambition. If I didn’t say that, you wouldn’t listen to the record and say what’s that song called? Cause when Biggie was saying, “Damn, niggas wanna stick me for my paper,” that’s writing prosperity, but the effects of it from others. Jealousy is created from you moving forward. I wrote it from a lot of different angles in order to create an album with all the facets I was comfortable with so it could all have one thing.
We’re gonna cut to the chase on this one: What’s good with G-Unit right now?
G-Unit is something that I built, with the momentum of 50 Cent and the music I created. They had the opportunities. The object was to grow it outside from the people that was around me, but people change and won’t stay the same. As relationships grow older, everyone is off into their own little things. Unless you gonna hold them into the way they think like—“you better not think you gonna do something else,” like that—that was the Death Row motto. They kept them in check so they didn’t move out of the way. And if you don’t do that because you wanna see them grow to their highest potential, and they don’t want it: Where is it?
Tell me where’s the interest from G-Unit members. You got new guys out there that don’t have the support of record companies and are working, just to sustain and generate that energy that’s there. I like to collaborate with them, did it for a long time. Maybe there’s a point that we’ll come back together and make a disc. And whom do you mean when you say the whole G-Unit?
We can talk about the big three or the infamous five. Shoot.
It’ll never be five. That’ll never happen. I don’t even know if that’s possible because I don’t talk to them. I haven’t had communications with Young Buck since he been out of jail. I’ll never work with Game.
True. But you know Buck trying hard right now to get back in the game.
I hope he get it. But for me, I couldn’t move forward with the things that I want if I was concentrating on holding someone else back. Buck is out and active, but even when saying you seen him doing stuff: Where are the other members? See what I’m saying. You see the news and all the video stuff, I guess they expect me to shoot it and do it.
But let me ask you a question: How would you feel if you were a boss of a company, which you had to pay for, and the people who work for you switched to you work for them? If they are not moving and waiting for you to do it, that means you actually did the work. So it’s like, “you can call me when you’re ready to work for me.” If they are sustaining energy and building their own thing, we’re talking a different thing.

The powerful new film from Göran Hugo Olsson, director of The Black Power Mixtape, is a fresh and bold visual narrative, documenting the liberation from colonial rule in the ‘60s and ‘70s in Africa. Working with recently discovered archival footage, the film depicts some of the most daring moments ever captured during the anti-colonialist struggle. Drawn from Frantz Fanon’s still-evocative and searing text “The Wretched of the Earth” and narrated by the socially engaged singer Lauryn Hill, CONCERNING VIOLENCE is a striking and emotionally resonant cinematic essay, which confronts the dehumanizing mechanisms of colonialism of the past to illuminate the urgent need for change in the present.
The film will debut this month at the Sundance Festival.
