I honestly have worried abt ski, no homo. But between everything thats happened and heart disease, it's an interview like this where i can see my man knows things are bigger than him. Love and happiness is what he brings to his fans and he understands he can't always be Stokeley. Sometimes he's just gotta be Ski and help this kids in the next generation through their hard times, and this is what makes him one of my favorite artist's, and as just a person.
