Its the Live One baby!!!
I'm originally from the big apple, now making my stomping grounds in the dirty. You know the name of the game, I'm in this to win or die trying. I am going to be the next great one. So hip hoppers beware, the streetz mesiah is taking the throne and my rule shall be a dynasty that will set the standard and bring hip hop out of this current state of recession. I am the last of a dying breed. An extinct species. A dude who's really hood so my gangsta is credible. I have the gift and the curse of being who I am. The live one baby a.k.a the cream of the bad crop. My word is bond when I say that you will come to know me as the next in line to change the games design.

Every time I am allowed to showcase my talent and control that moment it's special. Its a blessing to be able to do the things God has allowed me to do.
