I’ve been to NYC plenty of times. I’ve actually lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years when I was a kid but the city I was introduced to while hanging with my man HB was very new to me. New York residents move differently than people there to visit. It’s like they are natives to an island with respect for the the land and have paths to all things fruitful. Oh wait– I was on an island.

HB knows all the in & outs and has mastered New York City. He embodies the independent spirit and has been a part of multiple grass root movements, first with The Orchard Street phenomenon and currently with The Wellington Papers music project (only Jackies get pins).

Artist, musician and professional New Yawker— you have not seen NY till you wandered “The Lower” with Breeze at ungodly hours of the night (I checked out around 2am but was made to feel as if I had an early bed time). Breeze continued til the sun told him to stop.
