Tried to kill myself in jail yesterday :) I was lucky enough to have someone to help save me from myself. That kind of connection is my work&#x27;s and my life&#x27;s purpose and I&#x27;m going to continue to work my ass off to inspire. Unfortunately that can&#x27;t embody itself in rooftopping much anymore, but I&#x27;ll work just the same. I&#x27;ve got a big whole to climb out of. Luckily that&#x27;s what I&#x27;m best at ;) . * Looking to to do some amazing collaborations, let&#x27;s work together! * Check out the new film on my YouTube channel!
