25 years ago I was stabbed in the neck on the streets of West Philly and almost didn't make it home. I kept blacking out but, I was given another chance because like u, I was meant to be here. Thankyou for your testimony
You definitely said some real shit O. Its designed to keep us so preoccupied with basic survival that we cant be the best that we can be,,Thats so true my brother. .
Deepest 10 minutes I've heard in a long time. From the heart. No acting. No tough guy talk. Just a real live convo. Made me think about life and growing up like he did.
I never knew that you were in the Army Mr Vazquez. There's so many things to explore about your career your life and the Journey. I definitely did not know you were shot nine times it is a blessing that you are still here to share with us to your music through you being a father as well as losing a beloved child. I would love to interview you for the Indie Spotlight Philly if you see this message reply back to me thank you and have a blessed day
God bless you brother . I don't know you but I can tell you a good dude. Glad you still here to tell this story .I lost my 8 yr old son to a stray bullet and that shit fucked me up. He left for school that morning and never made it back home . That's why it kind of warms my heart to here your survival story. God bless you.
This dude need more than 17k subs. I don't even do no kind of social media dick riding and following but this nigga the realest. Always like hearing and inspired by this nigga story. Plus he always see the big picture...not just the glorified nigga shit. Salute
Same happened to me bro I got hit in the back of the head bro they put. D. N. R. (Do not resuscitate) on my chart and pushed me up against the wall and said I was gonna make it through the night so I be feeling every testimony you share bro.... stay strong soldier 💪🏾✊🏾
Big respect for your testimony bro. I took 6 45s,last year on mothers day. I knew so much of the shit you was saying. My arm was bent backwards too and them little water cups with the sponge sticks cause we can't drink water when you get in the trauma room. My back was hit 3 times 1 still in it but I was blessed and came home next day. When it's our time it's our time. Keep going hard O. Keep dropping that 🔥🔥🔥
Man I love this brother. One of the realest dudes I ever met. He use to come down to my store People's Music down in Baltimore all the time. And I had a recording studio in the basement. He recorded a couple songs with us. He use to tell us stories about rapping for Jay Z for hours to get his contract at Roc A Fella. I remember one late nite he was hanging with us and we went and got something to eat. We were in the carry out Upper Deck waiting for our food next thing we know O was in there fighting this dude. That's when I knew shorty was a gangsta and had a big heart because he was a Philly boy in Baltimore swinging on some random Baltimore dude, and my town is full of killers. I wonder do O remember that. Anyway good to see you doing so well bro. Peace to you and your kids.
Bmore stand up. I figured he had some connection to here when he said I think about all the people in Baltimore most people don't just say Baltimore unless they have a connection to here
Wow this is the most real heart felt shit from someone I didn't listen to that much back then. I saved this video liked and subscribed. Jist from who you are bro you can touch alot. Bless you bro.
G-Harly... Nope!!! Lee Daniel would be a better a way better option, plus they have a real neighborhood connection. Highly disappointed at all of Dame Dash's movies scenes in "philly"... Oh yeah... that was me who thumb down your comment
Given the circumstances and hurdles, the fact that you were able to overcome them and be prosperous as well, is a testament to the potential you have. Sky's the limit my boy ! #salute
Everytime you speak i listen. I just feel like you been thru mad real shit in life my nigga. You don't bullshit when you talk. You talk with confidence and wisdom
Stop saying that you can't bro. You can. You CAN be the best YOU that YOU can be. The money don't make you you. The occupation don't make you you. The cars, clothes, women, don't make you you. What makes you you is YOU, your being, your heart, your soul, your character. All the prementioned stuff can be taken from you, all that I stated after cannot. Be the best you you can be brother.
Just got the chance to finish listening to this and he took nine like a soldier and walked off and ALLAH let this brother live for a purpose...alhumduALLAH
Totally understand every word, He telling %100 facts. Had a similar experience laying in the street in Norfolk V.A that calm feeling and wanting to just sleep is real. Ironically I had just left the military as well. I bonded with this dude just now. I respect the hell out of this dude now, never listen to his music before.

I was a small time promoter in 2000, and O and Sparks was my first “Major” act I booked. They were Hella cool, professional, and they ROC the MIC. The STRUGGLE is REAL! I wish O the best going forward! PEACE
