I was discovered by a master filmmaker by the name of John Singleton. He not only made me a movie star but made me a filmmaker.

BitH blew my ignorant mind. Doughboys last words imprinted in my brain. “They either don’t know, don’t show or don’t care what’s going on in the hood”

John Singleton was the blueprint. I remember watching it in the theater on a family trip to Reno. Reno was poppin back then. I was definitely more of a Tre than a Doughboy but anybody could see themselves in one of John’s characters. He left a solid catalog. He’ll be missed. RIP
