C-NOTES:  From all I remember I want to be a part of Hip Hop. I think I discovered I had the gift at age fourteen. My mother passed away at the age sixteen so I have an old line where I say “my mamma passed when I was sixteen so I guess GOD really wanted me to spit 16’s”!!!!

C-NOTES: Man A.D. and the Elegant Hoodness is the definition of grinding!! I saw A.D. go from having one poster to now 16 different sponsors and human size banners at the shows. So with that being said wherever A.D. is C-NOTES and Get Rich INC. is right behind them.
