I really just started out recording in my living room and wanting to impress my friends...Shout out to Mint and TreaZon...all of this started with you guys.
I'm only eighteen years old. I've fallen in and out of love, lost friends, made unexpected alliances, and ran around this town making memories that some people could only wish to experience. Greg...the MGz...Ransom...even The Wave Club, Stella, Nadhia, Tahis...I hate when I name names, because I always forget somebody. I'll stop there. We made this city ours. We ran around like crazy kids and never gave a fuck what anybody thought, as long as we were us. Thank you, all of you. For all of it. The positive and the negative inspires me. The idea that I've performed and rapped and sang for the people here in New York, and I've had the privelege to take my story even out of my state to share it with the hearts and minds of the people that love this music the way I do is special within itself. The fact that I've met and spoken to some of my heroes and my favorite artists...to have artists I love tell me they're fans of me, and that they respect what I'm doing is love I can never forget.
Young King Mike Waxx, Mike Carson, I'm so proud of you guys. You're doing so many amazing things, and its strictly because you're the best at what you do. You're doing this because you get it. Who's fucking with illRoots??? Really though???
Thank you to anybody who embraced Alive & Vibrant..That was such an amazing time in my life, the good and the bad. I'll never forget that tacky ass red/yellow plaid flannel hahahah! Thank you to anybody who embraced Howling at Hades.
New York drove me out of my mind, and you'll get to hear about all of it one day. The craziest part is...I haven't even really gotten started yet.
