Week of 10/02/16
Hmmmm, I was just yelling happy new year, now it’s already October. Go figure. It seems slow then boom the year is almost gone. The older i get it feels like time flies right in front of your eyes. Crazy!! 2017 is staring at me hardcore style. Moving on though, trips like this, world hiphop trips makes time even go faster. The music is great all the time. And you get to experience something different almost every week. So even though these years seem like they move at the speed of light, we slow it down with a dope touch of world hiphop music. Let’s go!!!
