I happened to be in NY, at the Profile Records office the day they got the masters (?) back for "Hustlin'" b/w "Broken Language" 12". So I got to be one of the first to hear it, and was blown away. That led to me being one of the first to interview him also...he was cool peeps.
before Broken Language dropped an upcoming MC wanted me to come to Brownsville, I had no idea if he was nice or not. It was Smooth the hustler we were rhyming, then Trigger rhymed,D.V Khrist rhymed,random kids on the block with no deal killin shit. EVERY ONE was Extra nice
