Sharing the stage to celebrate 50 years of Hip-Hop with some of music's biggest icons was nothing short of AMAZING! Definitely a moment I will never forget. Me and Jeff had to dust off the old chains and jerseys for this one ha. Thanx to The GRAMMYs for letting me rock with y’all!

Time flies by so fast that we tend to forget the accomplishments of others. Will and Jazzy J were and still are a highly respected hip hop group and I was so glad to see them be embraced by their peers while putting on an incredible performance! As an 80s baby I can’t help but have love for the Fresh Prince!!!

That was nuts!! Thanks Will and team for giving us a inside look at this, maybe next time it won't take 50 years for the Grammys to acknowledge the genre's contribution to music history.

That performance was truly beautiful to watch. It was like watching family members reuniting after being a part for so many years. Music is life.

They won the very first Grammy for the Hip Hop genre and put it on the map. That's REALLY something! They did it first!
