This is one of the proudest moments of my life; sitting down to write the thank you’s on my first solo album… It’s been a long time coming…

I’d like to start off by thanking my family. To Mom and Dad, I’m proud to be your Son. I owe everything to you and I am proud of the man I have become. I love you very much. Special thanks to my family, the most grounded and balanced and perfect family anyone could ever hope to be a part of. Love you all… To my extended family back in Hawaii. My friends from Radford; you know who you are. HIT ME UP!!! Lindsey and Karen Watanabe, Kim and Nuu Atkins. Thanks for all the support.

To Lhyra… I Love you… Thanks for making me smile. The “BIG” house is on the way!!!

To the producers and writers on this album. Thanks for making this album BANGIN!!! A big shout out to the following people; Team Green, Big “AL” Frasier, XcluZive, “OAK”, So for Real and Feenx Beats. Thank you for bringing hot joints, different sounds and flavor to the CD… I couldn’t ask for a better production lineup.

To Stacy Roberson. Thanks a million for opening doors and helping get my music to the RIGHT people… Look forward to working on the next LP with ya.

To Slo-L. THE HOTTEST BALD HEAD UNDER THE SUN!!! You’re what Hip Hop needs; a breath of fresh air. Thanks for bringing that laid back smooth style all the way from Waikiki. Next year is going to be a good year for both of us… But hey let me pull into this parking lot… LOL!!!!

To all my friends. The list is too long to name all of you, but thanks for all the love and support. Thanks for keeping me grounded… And all the MEMORIES!!! You’re a great bunch of friends. THE NEXT PARTY IS GONNA BE AT MY CRIB.

To you. The Fan. For buying my album. You’re always 1 in my book no matter how much success comes my way. I hope you enjoy this album as much as I enjoyed making it. A SPECIAL THANKS TO MY FANS!!!

If I forgot anybody, I am sorry. Just know it is a mistake of my mind and not my heart.

And lastly, the most important person, I dedicate this album to Marcel Ingram. Without you this album would have never existed. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss you man. I know you’re watching over me. Keep Livin’ in the Sky… R.I.P. THIS ALBUM IS DEDICATED TO YOU.
