They had an answer for this. It was special. I know it was a special moment. I’m like, “Wow, this is a special fucking moment,” without a doubt. That was one of them things, man, I’m still writing on, I’m still working out. Let’s try to perfect it. And the way I see it perfecting of like, how can I put into words of what was happening with… Why it happened, how it happened?”
“Anyone that got a chance to work with Juice, got a chance to meet a man, especially, it’s a blessing,” he continues. “Just working with him. He’s a great kid, a special kid.
