OMG, you gotta see this documentary! So authentic, real, and triste:( benidito…but she’s a rising star! She’s gonna make mad moves and ya need to keep an ear out for her. Dope young Latina MC on the path to a reality our community has been waiting for. I just hope all the bubble gum pop stuff she has to do to survive doesn’t get in the way of her artistic truths and community roots. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Ya gotta check it…

Shout out to Mr Peralta who trooped it all the way from P Star’s neighborhood in 207 st on his bike! Now that’s a dedicated footprint!

Had to take advantage of the entire day it was just mad nice out! We walked from the world financial center across town to the Seaport to catch the view, and possibly Diana who walked home across the Brooklyn Bridge! Another dedicated footprint:) Can’t wait until this city get’s rid of all the traffic downtown so only bikes, and public transport can help us get green. Yes…I’m on my green tip lately.
