PERSONAL STATEMENT:

I hope to accomplish several things. First, as a businessman, make money. Second, as an artist, display my God-given ability to write. Third, as co-CEO, lay the foundation of Intellect Records, LLC, then expose the world to all of the untapped talent in my hometown. Fourth, as "Hip-Hop's First Rapper/Lawyer," further legitimize "this thing of ours." Also, stand as a reminder to inner-city youth that: "education is a key, which can be used to open many doors of opportunity." ONE!
