In an interview with HHDX, Ken Lewis revealed info about Shyne’s Gangland album and his current ties to the rapper.

DX: You worked on Shyne’s album Godfather Buried Alive, and you were also mixing all of his upcoming album, right?

Ken Lewis: Well, I mixed 18 songs for the upcoming album and produced two, but he got dropped from Def Jam [Records], and I haven’t heard from him since.

DX: I didn’t even realize he had been dropped from Def Jam—

Ken Lewis: Yeah, that may not be common knowledge. [Laughs] That might get me in trouble. His release date was splattered as May 17 all over the world, but the day came and went, and I never heard from Shyne again. I don’t really know what happened to him, I just know that as far as I’m concerned, I’m not a part of that record anymore.
