"We were born in the generation of this music. The evolution of things to come we were and still are a part of. Without thinking we were a part of the 4 elements of Hip Hop. We use to b-boy as kids just cause it was fun. It felt like everyone, scratched and broke their parent’s vinyl collection.Rapping and emceeing was the one thing that let us express ourselves without the need of the dollar, all we needed was our mind and heart. We didn’t have to buy paint, tables, and needles it was like dancing but with a voice."
