 What's up everybody? I am in the nations capital this week. I love D C. It is a great city. For the most important political city on Earth it is surprisingly ghetto! Which I love!!We got there Wednesday the 18th and go right to work. Me, Baby Shack, Professor and Silk go to DC Children's hospital. Man that was tough. I hate hospitals but to see the kids smile changes your whole outlook. After that we go to do radio and tv interviews. We grab some dinner and then me and springs hit the club. Thursday the 19th another day with the kids and doing media. We go play some ball at the run and shoot. Great run. Dc has ballers; always has!! I head to Virginia to do a in store autograph signing at a record store. I'm just starting to promote this mix tape I'm doing with Akon and his crew over at konvict... Friday the 20th me and hot sauce go to the Washington Nationals game against the Colorado Rockies. I'm a huge baseball fan. So this was a treat. We were guests of the team so we were on the field and in the dugout before the game. I was surprised at how many of the players knew me and sauce. It's still shocking sometimes at how famous we've become. Duke tango even gets to hand in the lineup card. We leave there and head to the Goodman league to catch the all star game. For those who don't know, the goodman is DC's answer to the rucker. And it's just as good. The games take place at Barry Farms which is so hood it's crazy. Helicopter and Baby Shaq absolutely kill - they both get 40 at least. Greg Jones and Prime Objective play for DC. They are legit playground legends. Who have been killing for years. The AND 1 team wins a close one. The next day we play the real game. And 1 asks me to run the contest and pick the players to play against the and 1 team. So the last few cities I've coached the opposing team. The game is packed as usual. We have had a great crowd in every city except NY. Team and 1 kills dc shaq dominates for his home crowd. He gets at least 40 again. Springs and some other dude go at it and springs embarrasses the dude. Professor catches the best dunk I've seen him catch. It was hot it will be on the show. Go Get It dunks on a guy and it does not even look real. Prime objective looks like the old prime and a dude named young zo is a beast dunking all over the place. This dude named myron has crazy hops he was my pick for mvp of the DC team. Team and 1 wins easily. After the game baby shack has a bbq in his hood. He bought the food and drinks. It felt good to just relax and kick back with my teammates. Sometimes I don't realize how stressful my job is. It's good to kick back every once in a while. Later that night we all go watch DMX perform. We had vip seats. Great show. Thanks to glenn at boost mobile for taken care pf us. Well I will talk to you guys next week from motown. God Bless.
