"I am just blessed to be able to finally put out an album," Santana told AllHipHop.com. "It was just time for me to move on and I am grateful for having my needs met and I'm excited about my album finally coming out this year. The Bird is still flying high. It's DipSet for life and Skull Gang forever."

Through Santana's spot on "You Ain't Got Nuthin," the Harlemite also earned Grammy recognition as a featured artist on the nominated Album of the Year.
"I'm blessed to have been a part of Wayne's album and I congratulate my brother for all his success," Santana added.
