So you start, you know, thinking about business, and then that, you know, transformed into me DJing and doing albums, and I did a couple of albums.

And then I knew that I couldn't sustain that, so I wanted to get into radio.

Radio was something that I really, really loved, and radio, I jumped into it.

Doc Johnson, he was here, and he just kinda like looked at me, and you know, I just, I, I, I don't wear baggy pants, so you can kinda see the fit-

I mean, I, I'm not that well, but I figured if I was getting something that's, you know, a little bit enhanced, I want it to look, look the best, right?

Yes.

The Benzes.

And then every once in a while, you see something a little crazier than that.

And I just remember wanting one of those cars, and that's kinda where my love came for cars.

I was like, "I want that car." And then as a kid you be like, "Yo, that's my car.
