2001. New York City.
A couple of months before 9/11.
No one knew everything would change that same year.

I went to the twin towers one day because i saw it in the Simpsons and thought it would be funny to stand where Homer was in the cartoon.

On reflection, i wish i took more photos back then. It’s impossible to realise how truly big they were.

Mind blowingly big.

And then some more.

Our thoughts are with all those we lost that day.

It’s all fun & games until you get burnt by the sun.. It’s an occupational hazard but you gotta roll with it and have fun anyways.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s been a tough summer but a hella experience with more behind-the-scenes work than i’ve ever done before but will ultimately be worth the effort.

My media house is starting to grow, i wrote some new music and am learning as much as possible about crypto and Web 3.

Exciting times are ahead and i’m working on being better every day.

Worked my ass off through the summer, no holidays and no time off. Things are happening.Grind now to win later.

Just finished off a couple of new tracks (my first for a while) and have started to get a little bit of a buzz back in the studio.

Life has been pretty busy for the last couple of years but all of the energy is just starting to pay off.

Lots of good things on the horizon.
Good vibes, good music, good life.

On this day in 2011 i moved to Dubai. I went straight from the airport to the DJ booth to join my brother behind the decks at Nasimi Beach, wearing my yellow G-Unit tee.

14yrs later, i still love this city and call it home.

This is home.
