When it’s warm, we go fishing for freshwater fish, but we throw it back in. You can’t take that fish home.”
Photograph: Krista Schlueter “I basically go to the bar; I don’t club or nothing. I get a Henny on the rocks at Mavi Lounge (204-01 Jamaica Ave at 204th St, Hollis, Queens; myspace.com/mavilounge) because the prices are cheaper than any other bar. It looks like a party bus—there’s lights on the ceiling and the walls.”
“Me and my family are building a studio—it’s called All Family Entertainment (by appointment, e-mail jahsier05142012@hotmail.com). Anyone can record there, newcomers pay $15 by the hour. I rap my own shit, but I ain’t no big rapper.”
