How the One Piece Rapper Got into 4Kids - The Matrix, Recording Contract, Humble Start

Before 4Kids, before the One Piece rap, I was a kid in Brooklyn writing graffiti and doing tricks on BMX bikes. This is how I got from there to a Tommy Boy record deal, to hanging out with Jay-Z and Damon Dash every day, to taking an audio engineering job I didn't even want to interview for — the job that turned me into the One Piece pirate rapper.
