In Memory of: Bryan "Ports" Coyle.
I dedicate this project to the memory of one of my best friends that left the world on March 13, 2012. Ports taught me how to rhyme - how to count bars, flow patterns, freestyle, etc. He also introduced me to the indie hip hop scene in the late 90's & changed my life forever.
There would have never been a J57 if there had never been a Ports. Dedicating this project to him is the very least I could do.
