Drew...what up man!! I haven't logged onto MySpace I think in almost 2 years!! lol Anyway, I peeped out your new joints and I'm enjoying the evolution of Red Clay :-) I like that NY stylin' joint! You should do a video for that one; if you do...I want to be in it with my boys training in MMA here in the Bronx--would be dope! Anyway, all is well; I received another 4.0 GPA for the summer session of grad school! I took 3 classes and aced them! I now only have 4 more courses to go; two in the fall and two in the spring--and I'll graduate in May from CUNY Hunter College with my Master of Science in Childhood Education Specializing in Mathematics and Science!! Also, I resigned from the school I've been teaching at here in the Bronx of 4 years. I accepted a teaching position at The School of Diplomacy in the Bronx--same district...number 11...and I will be teaching 6th and 7th grade mathematics! There may be some opportunities to perform there too; once I get grounded I'll let you know...my school is in the hood...so if we can expose the kids to "real" hip-hop...always a plus! God Bless you man!! My brother Drew...always proud of you for following your heart no matter what: I admire that in you! PEACE!!! PS: Tell Lou & Probe I said what uuup!! -Thomas AKA 2-T.O.N.E.
