^i usually hate on most producers but your shit is too ill. i see you becoming a major name very soon.
I apriciate it homie... anytime I hear folks apriciate my music, it humbles me cause i know with out people likin my music I wouldn't be in the position I'm in.. And it lets me know I'm doin my job

Shit just hearin one or 2 ppl tell me that erryonce and a while kept me goin a few times, cause there's been many times where I didn't think the time I was puttin into it would pay off

you already know you and his problems are personal,

and if the opportunity presented itself that me and you work together again, i could care less what chop was to think.

plus i aint fucked wit blood since yalls lil bullshit anyway, not cause im takin sides, but cause i been too busy and my priorities are different

yalls personal problems aint gone make me think different about either one of you.

regardless, YOU know im far from fake.

Man I didn't dream of becomin an artist of any type, didnt strive for it during childhood didnt look up to any musicians really at all. How i became was basically an accident gone good. I was an All City Defensive Lineman , had scholarships lined up for just about every major D-1 school in the country, Tore my ACL , MCL senior year 2nd game. So i was layed up in the house for about a year didn't have shyt ta do, about 3 months after that i done had 10 full tracks recorded from the closet in a extra room we got. So by the time i was 17 i was finishin up my first project.. And here we are today 18yrs old learnin as i go.. I gained a new respect for Underground artists because i had ta witness it first hand on how hard it is gettin established.. Still goin threw that process.. All love tho lookin forward ta workin wit a buncha you cats.. remember da name
