Kendrick Lamar has actually sampled my track. I ‘d like to ask him if he recognizes my tale
Growing up in North Miami Beach in the 1980s was a lot of fun. We may not have actually had TikTok, but we weren’t bored: we would ride our bikes around and blast songs from our boomboxes all weekend. In my mid-teens, I did a work positioning at a record shop. I enjoyed it, and became something of a specialist in R&B and rap, listening to Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC and 2 Live Crew on repeat.One day in 1984, when I was 17, a document producer named Tony Butler– much better known as “Pretty Tony”– entered the shop. He heard me speak and asked me whether I intended to make some songs. I believed, “Why not?!”
