Influences: I've always loved and hated this part...the proverbial "big up" section. To all who read, don't be surprised if you catch this in the liner notes of some record I put out in the future...just a heads up! But to tell the truth, I'm not even really sure what to put right here.. I have a ruff idea, but... Do I list ALL artists that have influenced me, or just musicians? People I know that I kick it with daily? They've influence me quit a bit FOR SHURE...! What about that time I got hit by a car in the 2nd grade 'cuz I was a bad ass that didn't wanna cross at the crosswalk with the crossing guard and had to get rushed to the hospital??? I can't begin to explain what THAT did for me riding my bike in the street...! OUCH!!! I mean, I guess I could put whatever the hell I want to... It's my page, right?! Besides, it's not like too many people even make it this far... They peep the beats, see who you know so they can rape your friends list and then BOUNCE! So does it matter??? Tell you what, if you've made it this far, then I guess you deserve a couple "shout outs"... If you care to know the rest, hit me up, I'd love to share...and hear yours as well! These are in no particular order (except maybe the first few. No hurt feelings, please...)!

Enjoy!
