Patience is a virtue, so they say. On July 7, 2005, the news hit the Gotee Records website. “The new Mars ILL album, Pro*Pain, has been put on hold and will not be releasing on July 19, 2005. More details coming soon.” Time passed, and details were scarce. So we sat down with Dust, Deejay and Producer, and manCHILD, mic (aka Mars ILL) the month before the long-awaited release of Pro*Pain to talk about the album. We also talked about hip-hop music in the CCM realm, among other related issues.
