Rock & Roll and R&B and make music and do shows untill they die. The Hip-Hop culture don’t respect its older artist work and thats not Hip-Hop it’s childish and shouldn’t be goin down like that. We should respect and support our elders.

NV :: Being an artist that has been in the game how do you feel about a lot of the older artist making comebacks?
