    It's inspiring to see Alc stick to what is meaningful to him and not worry about the misunderstanding's of others as we all get older. I know a lot of annoying people that live more traditional lives who don't understand hiphop or are resentful that they didn't follow their dreams, probably ask questions like "what instrument do you play" thinking that as a music producer he needs to compose every sound lol. Bless you Alc, legend

      the halifax explosion is such an insane story, being from dartmouth and hearing about it all your life u kinda shrug it off, at least i did. but before the atom bomb it was the largest man made explosion in history, where i grew up we had a peice of the cannon from the mont blanc across the street, where im pretty sure it flew all the way from the harbour
