Together as Batdorf & McLean, they've launched a unique substance abuse survival platform, and released the CD "Soundtrax2Recovery." He has also released new music collaboratively with his old partner Mark Rodney and James Lee Stanley. Since 2004, he’s released nine solo albums on his own imprint, BATMAC MUSIC.
