From Bahamadia
This was during one of the KOLLAGE sessions. Camp Lo was in one of the rooms. The beat for 3 THE HARDWAY was played to me for first time was just the drums initially and Sticky Fingers from Onyx came in was like DOPE now where’s the raps lol also met Big L who was outside in front of the studio when I first came in and I stopped and got the Spanish rice plantain and chicken from that little restaurant down stairs. Was an absolute movie. Top it off LL Cool J was on the elevator on the way up. Just he & I. Froze in the jawn whole ride up. One of the highlights of my life overall as an AUTHENTIC HIPHOPPER. D&D changed me forever that day. REST WELL G.U.R.U.
