According to my parents, I just started drumming when I was two. I traveled with them from five to seven on the road, playing percussion. Between 8 and 12, my dad sort of prepared me by teaching me every aspect of road life.
I don't have friends, and it's hard for me to make new friends. Right now, the people that are in my life are the people that I work with.
Hip-hop is an instant gratification, winners and losers circle, and often those who are losing give up after three or four, five years.
I'm not one of those people who's so blinded by my own work and my sweat. It's kind of risky writing a memoir when you're really part of a larger universe.
