Berkeley showed me how to Speak Easy…
Throughout my creative career, I have manifested a vengeful way of doing things. Feeling always that I have something to prove. The reason why I perceive things in this way is layered by many things.

Whether you care about the culture of Hip-Hop or not this blog is for you.
