[[ January 12, 2004  ]]

What's upper! Happy New Year fam. I spent the last three weeks relaxing & refocusing on my goals for 2004. Not being able to see my kids was very hard to deal with plus dealing with certain record labels who continue to be past due when it comes to paying me on time for my promotional services. Rap Attack is so close to my heart that despite the financial difficulties I encounter tring to keep the site up 24/7, it's the dj's on my panel that keeps me motivated to be there for them! I am also coming out of radio retirement. I've got 18 years of on air talent & on the wheels experience under my belt & after being away from it for about 6 years, I miss it. I'll be on a major market station here in L.A. & all I can say is, stay tuned & keep me in your prayers that God will once again open the doors for me at radio. Quickly, I'd like to thank the following people for their unconditional support & motivation over the holiday season; my sister Ann, Baby-C & Hovik, Kazzeo, my homegirl4life Princess E, to Damon Knight (formerly of KUBE 93 in Seattle & makin' noise right here at L.A.'s HOT 92 JAMZ) & to Mii Mii & Suspens. Thank you so much... Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Shaw "BumRush" Hargett from WKNC & his show "The Saturday Nite Mixtape"...
