Young and determined. 25 years ago with a lap top. No examples to follow but myself. I knew that “It Was Written”. Thank you @stevestoute for helping me strategize, for pushing me and for helping me make my second album. Thank you Trackmasters & L.E.S, STRETCH (RIP) ,Premier and Dr. Dre for producing it and every artist on this album WE DID IT. .. and to everyone for the love today. Thank you. #ITWASWRITTEN
