Words of Joy

I never had the pleasure of finding too many people around me that gave the influence I used to get here on a emerging company basis. I did to a certain extent, but be honest it was always based on high influental admiration from a company or person from a distant city.

I never met this dude a long time a go, valet driver, no bloodline, claimed his city, sketches on paper, music, investor, visionary, leader, straight baller, but most of all a drive and determination that would put anybody to the test hard. Truth be told the news that has hit me is a deep loss from one founder, creative director, and brand to another. He taught better than you gangsta'...
