"I want you to put the word out there. Let them know we back up"
Did that really happen or did I dream it? I was actually in the studio with Philly legend @lostcauze ( @armyofthepharaoh ) for a feature. 🎙
I mean, damn, I've been listening to him for so long, and now a happy accident and the @realsnowgoons connection led to this session. đź’Ż
A huge thank you also to @caliphnow , in whose legendary booth we recorded. For this little kid from Germany, that was a BIG moment.

Man Man and his classmates warmed our hearts and brought tears to our eyes at the annual PPACHS spring concert at the Kimmel. The sound of children playing and performing music in unison does something to the soul. It just feels like pure magic, because that's what these kids are. We absolutely adore this school and are so excited for Isa to start her journey there next year and carry on the tradition. God is good!!
Salute the Sixers and the Flyers for giving us something to do for a few extra weeks. This city will have another chip soon enough, until then I'll just keep believing in and rooting for the hometeam. Congratulations @nyknicks fans, you're all insufferable fucking pricks but as I told my son, a man still talking shit after an asswhooping didn't just lose the fight he also lost the lesson. Get better, do better or keep suffering. It's simple as that 🤷🏿‍♂️
Had a beautiful time today celebrating the boy who made me an Uncle for the first time. My beloved nephew Money Mase is truly the sweetest little dude, we love you to the moon and back kid. Great job mom and dad on a most righteous gathering, we all had a ball!
Hoop dreams! Shout out to your Philadelphia @sixers let's get back in this thing and get a W at the Garden tonight! And shout out to the infamous Man Man for a breakout season in year 2 on the court, he was all about football and baseball but JoJo,VJ and Maxey more so then anyone/anything really made him fall in love with the game, and if you been following Manny you know when he decides he loves a sport he's gonna work till he dominates that mfer!! Started off slow and ended up averaging 17 for the last half of the season, the confidence has been instilled and it's only up from here 🤷🏿‍♂️

18 years ago today, I asked a young lady to come hang with me. We talked and ate pizza (well, I ate pizza lol. She said she wasn't hungry but years later she would claim it was cuz she was nervous. I suspect whatever pizza joint I was ordering from in those days probably did not look appealing at all. But I digress). At some point, I guess to seem cool or dangerous I put on a DVD of "Cocaine Cowboys" that was scratched to hell and kept freezing/skipping and I had to keep getting up and messing with it, becoming more visibly frustrated and embarrassed, which she found incredibly amusing. We laughed about it. Everything went wrong and she didn't care and she didn't judge.
And she ain't left my side since.
