Advice:
My advice would be to all the young cats out there tryin to be in this field, do what you do, i repeat, do what you do! Dont copy other peoples styles because with doing that youre killing the Hip-Hop Rap culture. So be yaself and dont be afraid to fail. We need innovators not copycats so Hip-Hop can stay fresh all around the world.
Peeeeeeeeace DJ Lord Jazz
