I love Teezo's music but what fascinates me more about him is his personality and overall inner light. You would think his appearance makes him stand but it's actually his soul, his actual existence. I could listen to him talk everyday. He has such a huge light without trying too hard despite what some others may say.

[HELLO_KORO]

Teezo remind me of my Pakistani homie.
