No jumper. Coolest podcast in the world today. I'm bringing you a

dope look into some important New York City hip-hop history and beyond. My man Shay Davis is in the building.

It's a load, so low happy to be here. Yeah, I'm hyped to have this conversation because I was I lived in New York from 2003 to 2010.

So I was kind of the time period in what you were doing your thing and I definitely have a lot of memories of seeing you during the blog era and the early DVD era and all that kind of

stuff. So we use that in New York. I stayed in Bushwick and a story during that time for the most part. A story before it was like the nicest place

on earth. It's like so it's beautiful over there now. Yeah, yeah, definitely. But all right, so let's talk about your early days exactly where you were born and what it was like for you as a kid.

I'm saying, well, I'll go up in the Bronx. I'm saying Patterson projects. I mean, building four, four, ten, which with my grandmother.

I mean, my mom's having, but you know, she was, she was into the drugs and stuff. So she just left me with my grandmother really my aunt, which is a sister.

She left me with a sister and my sister was raising me stuff like that. She was, I was living in an apartment in the projects with them.

I'm saying, and then my mom's died probably like, and I was like, nine, nine years old. Then my grandma was taking care of me and she died.

And how many years apart? I think like the same year. Really? And what happened to both of them? Well, my mom see us, she fell off the roof. Right.

Yeah, because she came for the crib and she was not going on a door and the music was loud. So we lived on a top floor. So you know what I'm saying?

So she went to the roof to try to try to, you know what I mean, go knock on the window and then she tipped over.

Yeah, she died. And then my grandma, but probably like, yeah, later, you know what I mean, the same right in the same year, she died.

From complications, old age or whatever. After last person to see it before she died. Really?

She said she wanted to see me. They snuck me in a hospital. Then I seen her. She held her hand and stuff like that.

And then that same night, we got the call of three in the morning that she passed.

Wow. Then I went to her funeral. That's the first one I went to. I went to her funeral. She had a smile on her face.

She is real religious too. So, wow.

Got a smile on her face and the casket. So how many brothers and sisters do you?

I only got no brother. I only got one sister that my mom said. Right.

Because we were originally from Alabama, but I was born in the Bronx.
