Another album? The first album I understand because Chino wanted to release this album. But the other 2 albums are just that M80 Guy making money from a dead man.

Wrong. M80 Bought the masters for several albums and has given full ownership to Chino's youngest daughters. These albums - the profits are going to the two daughters again, who are also executive producers of the album and designed/released merchandise relating to the album (Map of Bones).

There are also several albums completed and were due to be released including 'Extract the bleeding' which will be released this year by Palehorse productions, which IMO has some of Chi's best work in terms of verses and the beats used.
