Quite frankly it's going really well. We launched back in February [2005], our whole intent was to provide a platform for our African artists to shine.

No. It's not coming this way. Our goal is to expose our African artists to the rest of Africa and the rest of the world. There is no pressure to expose international artists to Africa.
