When Michael Keith of 112 first claimed that he and Slim didn’t receive their proper royalties as members of the group, he refused to call out the guilty party.
Yet, considering that the group only has four members, it wasn’t hard to figure out in whose direction his fingers were pointing — towards either Q Parker or Darron Jones. Well, now Q has come forward to clear his name. (more…)
