Yet another great piece by D-Nice in his latest edition of ‘Soul Survivors’.

Eric discussed what it was like growing up in a musical family. He also spoke about being depressed and how a woman’s “Chocolate Legs”, and the strong connection they shared, brought him out of his depression.

Powerful. From D-Nice’s Journal:

This is the story of a homeless rapper I met on the streets of Brooklyn. There’s a part of me that feels for him because it’s quite obvious he suffered a great deal as a child. But it’s hard to show sympathy for a man who has lived life the way he has. I guess everyone deserves to be forgiven.
