“We was just young and out there and Haitian. We really became the voice for that community.”
REDD EYEZZ Words by N. Ali Early
do. So most young niggas nowadays wanna be a part of something. We went from lil niggas in the hood to local celebrities and now the shit’s worldwide. Historically speaking, there are organized gangs that show resistance when a member leaves. What was the process like for you when you decided to push forward with your career? It’s different, man. I wasn’t never no follower. I was a man. I didn’t really have no father figure in my house, so I learned from being on the street and as I got older the more confident I became in myself and what I knew and what I believed in. It may have been a time where me and one of the homies didn’t see eye to eye, but that didn’t have anything to do with my decision. My decision to go solo was in the making while our album was being pushed out. It wasn’t a problem. I would have been cheating myself to not at least try this. So I did that and it ended up being a real nice thing. I just made a decision and stuck to it. //
