Flo Dirt presents "The Phoenix Sons Tour" 2007-08-06 03:39:49 What up, family? I always say "family" because that's what we are collectively. The outside media tends to focus on how we break each other down and how we beef with one another. Throughout my short 10 Shot collection, I've learned so many important things, one of which is the need for cohesiveness, not only regionally, but as a hip hop nation. As long as there is balance, we can't lose.I moved to Arizona about 4 years ago now and have met so many good people. I met my man Juice from Black Wall Street in the mall I work my 9-5 at. He's hands down one of the most humble, hungry and good brothas I've ever met and always shows me love. In return, I do what I can for that man. He knows I support him 100%.My very first entry with this website was my coverage of the Hip Hop Summit conference where I met my family from the Man Up Squad, The Merks, and people down with Sha Money XL like my brotha Taurus Scott and Hot Rod from G-Unit. It's not secret that there is a history between BWS an ...
