My Life: My days as a rapper

March 21st, 2008 | Category: My Life | No comments

For those that know me, know that I used to rap (not as a career) but as a hobby, never did any shows, never performed just battled rappers and freestyled. When I was living out in TO, my man who is a rapper Ralo Lopez brought me into the studio to do a track for P from Elite Squad and this is what we came up with.

This track is from 2002

Ralo Lopez feat: Caster Troy aka Marcus Troy

Hope you like it!

When I’m not blogging and buying sneakers I like to pretend I am a photographer, and if I had my choice of cameras (meaning the balls to drop 6000$) I would only mess with the Leica brand. As the king of hip-hop quotables told me it’s “unbelievable” (in R.Kelly voice) (used for the biggie song)

This is the digital version which cost considerably less, Paul just got himself one, so I think I might get one too. The camera game is not like the sneaker or clothing game, no one is gonna say “hey you bit my camera”

check out the specs:

Leica D-LUX 3 Black

10 million effective pixels, 4x Digital zoom, 2.8″ TFT color display with 207,000 pixels, Image Stabilization, LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 1:2.8-4.9/6.3-25.2 ASPH zoom lens, all metal aluminium body. Approx: 600$
