      Back in '98 I believe I was at Noontime Studios with my brother Sol Messiah (producer of Saroc), Shakir Stewart(RIP), Dana Johnson(producer of Avery Sunshine), when Anthony Dent(prod. of Destiny's Child & former Bad Boy Hitman) brought in Erick Sermon who graciously gave everyone a pound and proceeded to talk to us non-stop for 3 hours, telling stories and teaching us about the music business. I don't think I've ever had a session like that again.

    So, time passed and the store called the house, they spoke to my moms. I come in the house and she broke on me for putting too much($$$) on the lay-away.
    Had to go with her like a little kid up to Parkchester one afternoon and get rid of some items so she could complete the purchase.
    DAMN I WAS HURT!
    I wound up with like three shirts and three Lee's jeans to start the new school years! I was mad, embarrassed(cute cashiers working there), felt so damn small because I knew she wasn't giving me no mo money for shit! I already had my new black on white shelltoe Adidas. But yeah, I had to run the same shirts and pants until winter came. At least one of my friends made that loud and clear outside one afternoon because of my shirt. There was some days I just didn't go to school!😆
    My older brother was seriously pissed about me getting away with that! The stress from peer pressure over running the same clothes in a week back then was a mofo!!!
