Pray as if everything depended on God; act as if everything depended on you

About Me

Decided to simplify this. Not much to add that isn't clear from my page. Grew up in Chicago (Go Cubs and Bears!), college in Cincinnati (Go Bearcats!) and now live in NYC.
I love Hip-Hop. Old, new, underground, mainstream. As long as it's creative and can keep my head nodding. And I love music of all genres that expresses strong emotions and/or seems appropriate to whatever I am going thru in my own life.
If you are a band or solo artist, and are adding me because of where I work, save yourself some time and don't do it. I don't approve bands that I do not know personally. If you think I know you, message me and tell me before sending me a request. Thanks.
If there's anything else you just need to know that this page doesn't tell you, just ask.

Not a quote

Holy shit. The 28th makes once year since I started at Interscope. It's kinda crazy how fast it's gone. Sometimes it feels like I've been there forever, and other days it seems like I just got there. ...
