Congrats Random!!! That's big time bru. Next stop grammy's no? Anyway, great to see you yesterday, thanks for some of the tips and I'll keep you posted on that jam. Peace and love, Ryan
woo-hoo! Congratulations! I can't think of a more deserving person. We were just doing end of the year wrap up things with the students (we're a year round school so our last day was Tuesday) and one of the kids said their favorite event of the year was seeing you and another said his favorite song of all time is "Never Give Up". That's the thing about you...your music is so powerful it reaches all ages. Keep it up!
yeeeeeah! on the win. please keep texting your events. i only have one or two days off and usually weekdays. so i miss alot of stuff. late night shows, after 10, im there. ~a~
Congrats! It was great seein ya. I got some really good pics so did Vanessa...check em out!! Also if you could try an keep July 16th 7pm open I'll hit you with more details tomorrow...cuz I am gettin ready to go to the lake! Peace&Love yo!
Thank you for taking the time to check it out. I just started working with beats again, I have not done anything since 03. Learning more on it. I have wanted to DJ forever, just have not put myself in the position to do so. I'm really trying to speak my mind on a track or more, life gets in the way and low cash flow doesn't help. It is just a nickname I was given, friends always called me Bobby Digital. Respect to the RZA. Take care comrade, type to you later.
Random. The voting was done. I actually might be coming out to the Sammies performance...hope to see you there. One of these days, if you find time, I have this collab idea I wan't to run by you. It's a political/social song. I think you could do some damage on it. Let me know if you're interested. Anyway, peace brotha and I hope you bring home the Sammie! Get to da choppa!!!
What up homie? I get out of the Navy next month and am going to be back in Sac from here on out, I was curious that what shows you have scheduled for next month because I really want to go. Your music has risen to levels that I never in my wildest dreams imagined that it could back when we were kids man, keep me in the loop and I hope this finds you well.
