"You know, this is my neck of the woods that held me down … since I was in the studio scrapping to write the best raps and all that, in order to do records like these."

He continued: "So I can’t give enough thanks, you know, to these places that I rolled around since high school. And most importantly, the people and the families out in the Palisades and Altadena.

"This is a true testament that we can continue to restore this city. And yeah, we gonna keep rocking."
