In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. In my years as a child my grandmother would play James Brown, Ray Charles, Al Green, Etta James, Aretha franklin.

Why did you choose these three albums in particular? 2Pac, All Eyez On Me Ludacris, Back for the First Time Mac Dre, Thizzelle Washington This describes my childhood. Being born down south but raised in the Bay. 2pac was my intro into hip hop. Mac Dre played a major part in my life meaning I was here during the hyphy movement and was apart of it.
