I'd go dance at talent shows, and because I was young I had the upper hand on a lot of other crews. People thought it was cute. I used that to my advantage.

People know me, and want to know me, as a baller more than anything else.

Because I was in Atlanta, people didn't realize I'm one of the real forefathers in the game.

My father was a promoter of Fresh Fest, and they needed an opening act. He got me a slot as a dancer. We tried it out the first time in Atlanta and the crowd went crazy. I was the opening clown.
