To everyone at Jive Records, thank you for making us feel at home and to RCA, I will never forget what you guys did for us.

To my real "dawg" Busta, who had true "pug appeal".

A special thanks to all the fans for sticking by us through all the controversy... like I always say, without you there is no us and we truly appreiciate each and every one of you!

To the guys: Justin, Joey, Lance, and JC, we've been through a lot together, but even during the roughest of times you guys have always made the struggles worthwhile and it has only made us stronger. We will always share a bond and a love for music that can never be broken and I look forward to many more prosperous years together- our journey has just begun!

And last but certainly not least, to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with the opportunity to reach people with the gift you have given me. It is you who make this all possible and I am eternally gratful.
