" Me being one of the Brooklyns' first families to start hip hop in Bushwick Brooklyn, I was raised by the hip hop culture. My brother started with the disco stomper a 70's disco group. He would throw jams in the parks. People have seen, in the park was Eddie Murphy and Charlie, because they lived up the block. You might see Bushwick Bill or Scarface drinking of fourty ounces of beer. There were many. Those were the days. "
" I am glad to be a pioneer of hip hop and glad those who enjoyed my stage entertainment as well as the craft of writing rhymes. I had fun and memories of a life time. Just me and Biggie in a cypher of rhyming. In 1986 I went to graphics high school in Manhattan, NY already writing rhymes. You might see RnB singer Gerald Maxwell singing to the ladies in a class room, because their teacher was out. The family boot camp click Sean Price, Tek & Steele were going there too. They would stand outside my class, so I can get a bathroom pass and we could rhyme in the bathroom. We would have some one banging a beat on the wall by the toilet. I would stay for a minute but I had to get back to the class. That was the birth of a lot of greatness. "
" When RZA talks in his rhyme about P.S 309 in bed stuy, he is referring to the battle contest my family used to have in the early 80's."
