One hundred




I've been doing rap shows for a long time, and met many artists whose music I'm a fan of, but no one has left such a positive impact on me like Yelawolf. 2 years ago, I almost got murdered outside of the last show and without needing/having to, this man came to my bed side and showed more love & support than some of my actual "friends" & "associates". 2 years later, moments after walking into the venue, I was greeted by this man again (along with his manager), asking about my well being and life in general. And then, again, without needing to or feeling obligated to, this man brought me out on stage in the middle of his set to encourage the audience to support their local artists instead of hating on them. Very rarely do I meet a rapper (especially at his level) who is grounded, kind hearted and just overall, a real fuckin person. I've always had a very cynical view of the entertainment business and most of the artists in it... this man changed that, for me. I will always be grateful/respectful. S/o to Yelawolf.

Special thanks to Cody & Ryan at Crude Magazine for the shots!
