My true facts is: I love hip-hop...the culture, the music, and the movement where it speaks the truth and tells it in a real feeling. One of my favorite moments in hip-hop world is break dancing. The reason is this, it made me to look back at the beginnings of my time where it was nothing, but having a good time and just enjoying myself. I've been reading the different stories from RUN DMC to Ice Cube, all day, every day. One of the advice is, 'Be true to yourself.'

A lot of artists in today's hip-hop aren't being truthful as long as they can't crossover to mainstream appeal. I've always loved break dancing and still to this day...enjoying! Everywhere I go where there's is a tournament, a break dance event is there. Hip-hop will never die in my own life. After college, I'm thinking about starting my own college course that deals with everything in hip-hop: culture, movement, dance, fashion, historical moments—all the things I've always done it for.

When today's rap music came along, it made me want to quit rapping because looking at every artist who doesn't know how to behave themselves. My thing here is to teach what's right and wrong for what to do and not to do. My advice to you is this: No matter what you've done in life, just be true to yourself and always...stay true to yourself and be yourself.
