    That story where a Ford Fiesta rolled up on wretch when he was a kid is unfortunately very relatable. Early 2000 era on my way home, I used to have group of young adults ask me what school year was I in? Then I would answer and they would move on but it would as if though they were looking for someone to hurt. The ends can drag you into a hood life purely because of the environment

    Always loved this mans music and also his vibe. Thank you Steven for having him on. What he had to offer in the conversation for me is pure gold to the young. I once took a group of girls who had become involved in the gangster lifestyle to his concert back in the day. It was the best concert any of us had been to. It made them see bigger than than the hood life. As an entertainer he is the real deal. True talent.

    Till Wretch mention the debate between investing in the buggy or music production, I felt that bro. Do you spend the last cash on a full grocery list or do you stretch your cash and reinvest in the business? In the midst of it all you learn to humble and appreciate the simpler things in life.
