What You Bring To The Hip-Hop Community || First off I am an entrepreneur. I’m a co-host on The Mighty Combat Jack Show, I’m the creator & founder of SneakerTube.TV a video/media sharing networking community focused on Sneakers, Streetwear & culture. I am also the Co- Founder of YouGottaEatThis.com with my brother Bun B, we created a hub for foodies worldwide to view & share a common bond together – Food! YGET has a staff of worldwide writers along with a network of celebrity guest contributors which include the likes of famous chefs, artists, and foodies from around the globe! I’m a sneaker lover who at this point of my life realized that I have way to many sneakers, oh wait there’s no such thing as to many. I’m a social media junkie & a consultant to many of your favorite brands & last but not least I’m a proud father to a teenage daughter who is living a #PresenceOverPresents lifestyle to the fullest. Love you Skyler!
Proudest Moment In The Music Industry || The Combat Jack Show; for over four years we have been given the Internets Hip Hop 101 classes week in & week out. I never look at it as a interview show we are having conversations, barbershop talk at its finest. To have a hand in and shaping what the show is today makes me very proud, these episodes will last forever. Shouts to my brother Combat Jack, AKing, Jonathan Mena and the entire Combat Jack Show Team & most of all to my brother Dallas Penn who brought me on the show in the beginning & believed in me when many didn’t.
Classic Song || Hypnotize x Notorious B.I.G.
Favorite Nightlife Spot || Had to be when I was a youngin’, The Tunnel, downstairs was heaven say no more. The unisex bathrooms also were a club of it’s own lol.
