Grammy-award winning hit-maker Jerry Wonda sits down and chops it up with us. He talks about his passion for music making, the first time he met Lauryn Hill, and his connection to Bob Marley. He also reveals that he has a track with Bono and Swizz Beatz in the stash! This clip is part 1 of 3. Editing done by @WrinkleDTshirt.  Shout out to KLPR Group for the hook up on the interview.

Just to give you a sense of the atmosphere, Busta Rhymes pulled an all nighter at his Platinum Sounds studio the night before, and Estelle walked in the door right before we started the interview, and he played us some joints from Tank (yeah, Tank) and Mary J. Blige, that were ridiculous. He makes hits. Anyway, look out below.

This is how we are bringing in the new year, yeah. Shout out to everyone that’s been supporting us and what we are doing over here. #itsnotahobby @syn456 @vanessa_gyan @creamteammusic @iammrstvil. It’s like a mixtape post. ha.

A lot of people say you can’t do it,
til you do it then they tell you “no you didn’t prove it…”
then you gotta do it twice, pat yourself on the back for not taking advice from haters,
i’ll call you 8:55 if you flip your 9 to 5 and you make it cuz of your grind,
no biggie, just have faith and you’ll do well.
A “For Sale” sign on your soul is the new Hell
The pure of heart gon win at the end of the day
but i hate losin so every morning i feel a way
change comin’ i paid my dues to the cashier
i ain’t a saint but i show improvements from last year
funny how we find plenty ones when it comes to strippers
when a homeless person need funds, we the worst tippers
i post pictures with celebs everybody sees
followed up by scriptures in my statuses nobody reads
still roll up my sleeves and bust my *ss regardless
do it for the love you do it for the money, Mr. Marcus
FACT: we reap what we sow, this the harvest
spend some and some we must stash, Steve Harvey

but when that act is over do you want something real?
people jump to conclusions like skippins cool truancy…?
assumings gon’ make Shrek’s friend out of you and me

Opened the door and saw a mirror with a view of me…..
