The scene is the fall of 1996 the setting is the World famous “Gorman Hall” located in central dormitory area in University of Massachusetts America. I was a freshmen fresh meat on campus with one objective the take over lol. Reflecting back this is where I started my journey in the music business. A brother from another Shaun Kelly was a sophomore from Queens NYC, whose gifted with a musical ear especially in percussion. We would argue over who the best rappers at the times where. Shaun being from Queens he is representing Nas, in the meanwhile my favorite rapper was Redman. We would argue, Red Sox vs Yankees, Pats vs The Giants, for every healthy debate would be seeds planted to a lifetime friendship. Years later he has drummed for Les Nubians, Blitz thee Ambassador, Sade & many more. A world traveler as a musician now it’s his moment.

College is a special place take advantage of your academics obligation first and foremost but also connect with people. For me i met many lifelong friends at Umass “Zoomas” Amherst all who are very talented, too many to list right now. I value this particular Bro its his moment , much love because of the countless memories we shared. I wanted to see NYC, one weekend, we gas

Bittersweet day the game of basketball had one of it's greatest ever retire yesterday. #MambaOut Kobe put on a performance for the ages, by scoring 60 Points in his last NBA game. I personally I am pleased on this display, Kobe satisfied every Purple & Gold Fan worldwide with an exist performance like this versus the Utah Jazz 

Colin Cowherd on Kobe Bryant retiring from the NBA and what it means for the league going forward.

Tribute videos are flooding youtube and social media feeds. Kobe serves as a generational icon, he is leaving the games of basketball better than he came in. The countless tributes but there are some that caught my attention, Kobe Bean Bryant one of the greatest Basketball players has retired. The Hiphop community was impacted by the retirement of Kobe. Check out  Kendrick Lamar said it best "Fade to Black" as well as Loso  went in the Black Mamba Freestyle. 

Kobe for me was one of the greatest players I ever watched and rooted for through his trials and tribulations. Most of the greats battle and conquer adversity. Black Mamba was revered he was hated, but when it came to the game basketball he was one of the greatest to ever do it. Salute to you Kobe in all your future endeavors.
