Bio: L. Day A.K.A. 80 PROOF began this movement when he moved away from his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Growin up in that &$@ city was ridiculous. We were always referred to as the little "Compton" of the East Coast. Pittsburgh niggaz been bangin and flaggin since the mid 80's now it's like a &$@ epidemic out there. But I lost a lot of peoples to that *%^ and the streets PERIOD! I want to make it so we have no more losses to take, no more soldiers to lose and not let this $@&^ up system of our economy and circumstances take us all under. We must continually keep searching for the Light of true wisdom and knowledge. It is in ourselves to make ourselves "God-like" in a sense. WE are the architects of our future. That's why here at 8 BLOCK, we have a mission. The mission is to create a family in hip hop that consists of real niggaz from real backgrounds to make some real music! Thanks for hitting me up, here at the beginning of a whole new movement in rap/hip-hop.
