{title} Gameboi - Freshman of the Year EP

“This right here is genuine talent. This kid is gifted with it as a lyricist, and from the looks of it he is already doing a good job of surrounding himself with right people (not to mention, he's only 15...smh). My dude, if you get a chance to read this, you are working with the right people, which is key!!! Good stuff my dude-- cuttin' thru the bullshit. Big ups to my producer brethren 14KT too. Astronote is a beast on the production as well. I hope to hear more from both of them.”

{title} Dominique Larue - HerStory EP

“Now here's an artist who definitely gets my cosign. Dominique is going to be a serious problem. I hope to hear more from her and I can see the road to excellence is already being paved... Hopefully the hiphop community will catch her presence at some of the conferences this year (One Stop Shop especially).”
