My Grambino, George Westley Todd Jr. who past 11/7/03. I am the man that I am because of him as he showed me what a REAL MAN is. My mother, Ma Dukes. She keeps me grounded, makes me laugh, gets in my face, & taught me what REAL WOMEN LOOK FOR IN A MAN. My brother Narq-eese, aka C-Lo. Although he's younger than me he has taught me strength isn't in the years you have but in the character that makes up the person you are.
