Respect to Mix-Master Len the “Two” that completed the ones & twos. Never forgotten. Rest easy. Much love to @rootsrhymecollective for preserving what we built.
@jonesauduke @realcitizenkane you didn’t draw faces you captured history. More than nostalgia. This is proof.

LOST: rooftops, barbershops, garages, gun ranges, police rooms — all real locations. No fake backdrops. Every spot adds weight to the story. This wasn’t just a shoot, it was a mission.
