My lil' friends and I made the cutest step to _Age Ain't Nothin' But a #._ It was hella cute. I still remember it. Anyway, I loved that album. _Maniac Psycho_ was dope, but I loved the remix to _Funky Lemonade._ I was devastated when I didn't get a second album from you. I thought you quit, but it wasn't you.

Compared to his interview 7 yrs ago and when I seen him on Drink Champs. I also see him on IG posting live videos of him and his family. He looked healthier in the last Vlad interview he obviously smokes too much and lost all the sticky weight when he came home from jail. I even remember seeing his case on Americas Most Wanted back in day was in shock he was on run. Me and my home girl loved him back in the day as he is our age. It's sad that his career didnt get to flourish as he was before Bow Wow but didnt get that huge success. I can tell on IG he wanted his career back as he lost it due to being behind bars all that time. I hope I get to see his doc in the future.
