Actually, the artists who worked on the album are Size, Krust, Die and Suv
(not to mention Bahamadia, Onallee, Dominic Smith, Ben Watt and Tracy
Thorn). I believe that Reprazent is their collective pseudonym for the
projects they work on for Talkin' Loud. As far as I know, DJ Die has
always been just DJ Die, even before the whole "Reprazent" concept came
into being. The reason I referred to the album as being from a single
artist is that, from what I understand, the album is mainly the idea and
effort of Roni Size. Sure there are many tracks that were collaborations
between Size and others, but he is listed as a writer and producer for
*every* song on the album, whereas his collaborators vary from track to
track (and on some tracks there are none). Since the whole album seems to
be Size's "vision," if you will, to me that makes it his album.

peace,
Dylan.
