So Lil Baby is rich. Rich enough to spend $400k on a watch. One. Singular. Watch. All good, until it turns out his 400 grand isn't respected like the other 400 grands of the world and he was sold a fake watch. It was pointed out by an Instagram fake watch exposure page and well, it got interesting and I got to thinking. How much a Black dollar worth anyway?

So on the Keep Elevated podcast there was a discussion about rappers who have to, or feel they have to embrace the trenches. Even after fame still have to show how they are still in the trenches. Oh how we love those trenches! So much that if we get rich and get away we still gotta go back! Don't blame us though, it just keep calling me like Pookie on the rock. So this is just an expanded thought into that topic.

Episode 17, welcome. The message is simple. Dedicate yourself to your craft when no one is looking. Many will do the same thing but not put in the same work. How long should you stay dedicated? How long till opportunity meets preparation? Maybe a lifetime. But in the end the real will be recognized. Also, tune in to Keep Elevated my other podcast with my homies. We got some great stuff happening over there too.

LONG LIVE COMBAT JACK

Welcome back. It's been some time but it was needed. Lets just be real. Time is a lie. And being told "you have time" is assault. OK maybe not that drastic but we don't have time. Well, we have time but not much. Why waste it? Why live second guessing?
