Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I wanted to teach other rappers how to rhyme, so I wrote a song called How to Emcee in 2009. It explained how to mix words, and it had a sarcastic flow. I was having fun with the syllables.

#2 I consider wordplay to be playing drums with words. I will take multi-syllable words and place them in a certain order to make them sound different, or I will move words up a bit to make them sound different.

#3 My mother, who was a trained opera singer, would sing jazz, RB, and everything in between. She made music seem important. I remember her crying when certain songs came on, and I thought, Some songs can shake people to their soul.

#4 I had a brother, Stevie, who was seven years older than me. He was into music, and he shared a room with me. I was always trying to be like him, and he helped me learn how to play the sax.
