Anything you would like to say? 
This last year and a half has been really hard for me. I am going through a child custody case for my son. My son and I went from seeing each other every weekend for 10 years, to not seeing each other for a year and a half over a song (Rip Fire) and I have “joint legal custody”. Yeshua and my music are the reason I am still standing.
