0:00A: Okay, okay. Yeah, so I’m a streetball hooper, you know what I’m saying? Content creator, UGC content creator, brand ambassador, and product promoter. I act, I do a lot, you know what I’m saying? So shout out to Ka. I’m also an artist. Damn, yo, there’s so many things that I do. I’m a man of so many hats, but at the end of the day, I’m here doing the damn thing, making it happen. I might spit some bars for Ka and, um, yeah, we gonna shake some. Let’s hear some.
