I think Sneak completed the album before shopping it to labels, he just wanted a distribution deal, so I don't think he could have expected an advance. He got distribution in Australia with Ministry of Sound Australia and I doubt they would have offered anything astronomical as we have a small market. He was more like the UK market is in complete disarray. I am curious to hear it, he says it's not straight 4/4, more ol' skool funk album.
