‘t’s been tough to enjoy life lately I love you grandma clatis . as i sit and think back about my early years and the time we spent together i came to the conclusion that you were a big part of why i make music. you had that casio keyboard and would always let me play it when i came to your house, you showed me how to navigate thru the sounds and im just now realizing how important that was for my development as a music maker. when i first decided i wanted to get a set up to produce my own beats you gave me a desktop computer and a screen to go with it. that was huge for me and allowed me to lock in and begin my journey which ultimately led me to me being where i am today. Nat King cole “unforgettable” was your favorite song when i was a kid and you would play it over and over and sing it to me i’ll never forget that and i’ll never forget you. The biggest gift of all was you taking me to
them visits all over the country to make sure i stayed connected with my dad no matter where he was in prison we was taking a plane ,trane or car ride to see him. i love you for that and that’s why we’re taking advantage of every single moment for the sake of our whole family. no more pain no more suffering. i’ll see you on the other side. 💔’
