SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH THE MOBB
I've had so many moments I couldn't even list them all,
so I'll go with my personal favorite -
I'd been looking for a guitar player to work with me in
the studio for a while. I couldn't find anybody that wanted
to really work and be discipline enough to pump out mad
tracks. For some reason, when I least expected it, a very
sweet girl called "Teddy" re-introduced me and
Ed Baldwin with each other. I still remember that night
very clear....Ed was playing his Small Print cd and I couldn't
stop saying to myself, "wow, this dude is fricken awesome!"
Ed and I talked for a good while that night. I asked him
if he would come over the next day and check out my studio
and my music. He agreed........The rest is history.
