Influences
My father’s many treks across the Mexican border, my mothers roots in the San Luis Valley, my antepasados, my beautiful child, my best friend Randy Anthony Esquibel R.I.P., all my childhood homies who have fulfilled their dreams, those who have yet to, Rawlins, the tracks, the breaks, Dom, making it college, law school for teaching me everything I didn’t want to be, those who supported my decision not to practice law, those who damaged my soul, those who nursed it back to good health, those who believe in my words, the unseen, the unknown, the forgotten, those who are tagged “alien” and “illegal” in their struggle to survive, those who fight with their hearts, minds, and souls for a brighter tomorrow, the countless young people who have listened to my words, my flow, those who believe in themselves first and foremost, those who follow their passions, we shine.
Sounds Like
Ancient Hip-Hop, fusion, forward vision, modern day storytelling. The sound and flow will always change but the truth remains the same.
