    That story where a Ford Fiesta rolled up on wretch when he was a kid is unfortunately very relatable. Early 2000 era on my way home, I used to have group of young adults ask me what school year was I in? Then I would answer and they would move on but it would as if though they were looking for someone to hurt. The ends can drag you into a hood life purely because of the environment

I once took a group of girls who had become involved in the gangster lifestyle to his concert back in the day. It was the best concert any of us had been to. It made them see bigger than than the hood life. As an entertainer he is the real deal. True talent.
