New York's accomplished battle veteran PackFM is channeling his raw freestyle energy into his upcoming debut album, whatduzFMstand4? coming Fall 2004 on Qn5 Music. The first single from the project, "Forevershine”, features cuts from Rock Steady Crew’s DJ JS-1 and was produced by Kno of the QN5 family. Both “Upclose and Personal” featuring Substantial of Extended F@mm and “Set It Up” featuring Chicago’s freestyle phenom J.U.I.C.E. were produced by the multi-talented Tonedeff, who is also Executive Producer of whatduzFMstand4?

Additional guest appearances on the album will include iCON the Mic King, Mecca, Pumpkinhead, Poison Pen, Breez Evahflowin, Immortal Technique, while Domingo, Frequency, J-Zone, Static, and PackFM himself round out the production.
