While Im here, Id like to thank... Dad Clinton Hill thanks for letting me make my mistakes and for being there for me for each one. I appreciate all that youve done for me throughout my life. I remember when you took me, Ken and Jovan to Cue Recording Studios when I was 13. Youve been a supporter of my journey since then. I greatly appreciate that. I hope Ill be able to buy you the Mercedes that youve always wanted :) Mom Janette Hill thanks for making the sacrifice of having me and Mylia grow up in VA. I know it wasnt easy and I cant imagine how hard it was for you but I understand that it was the best thing for us. I think I get my eclectic musical taste from you. When I was young I couldnt dig Englebert Humperdink. Now I listen to his albums looking for samples...LOL! Thank you for always reminding me that I’m intelligent. I didn’t really believe it until my 20’s now I make sure I show my intelligence in every song…even the party jams :) Mylia T. Nixon one year you gave me a birthday card with a message saying that I can do anything that I put my mind to. That has meant so much to me and it is one of the reasons why I continue to pursue my dream. I remember sitting with you as an adolescent as you wrote lyrics to the whatever new Whitney Houston song you just recorded from the radio while I was on Play/Pause duty on the boom box. That and the Paid in Full album that I borrowed from you made me have an appreciation for lyrics and lyricism. Brotha SouL Thank you for encouraging me to trust myself and for giving me a copy of The Alchemist which is a big reason why I chose to pursue a music career and it is also the inspiration for Personal Legend Thanks for all the music knowledge and the talks Acee Fuller III It is such a blessing to have such a dope producer.

Thanks for the support for this album. It means a lot to me. I cant wait for the world to hear your album. Aramis Rios (R.I.P.) the last time I saw you we had one of our infamous freestyle sessions.

You were almost mad that I wouldn’t admit that it was written. LOL! That was the ultimate compliment. Thanks for encouraging me to pursue my dream. We miss you, brother! Marcus Suleiman Thanks for your support over the years. I wouldnt have an appreciation for go-go if it wasnt for all the times cruisin in The Cave.
