Deborah Mannis-Gardner was featured in an article from Okayplayer.

During our nearly hour-long phone call, Mannis-Gardner traced the long history of the De La streaming struggle — including why some changes to the original albums were necessary (“I know some of the fans are disappointed,” she admitted), as well as why she thinks sampling shouldn’t just be legal no matter what, the problems with WhoSampled, her favorite lost ODB record, and the most upsetting liquor commercial she ever saw.
