Yo yesterday I was a little bummed out. That hot 93.7 thing was starting to look real promising because after a week of promotion and hard work I got up to 41% of the votes. It took me Three days of straight grinding to get to that point. I got home yesterday and checked the percentages again, I was still at 41%. So I go walk my dog "Falcon" and then grab a coke out the fridge. I checked my stats one more time after reading my e-mail and saw that in a matter of 15 minutes I dropped 10%. Clearly the other cat has the ability to manipulate the votes as he pleases. I'm not saying its him directly but it damn sure is somebody. what took me a week to get he took away in 10 minutes. Seeing as i cant compete with that I accepted that a loss is inevitable.

Just at that moment when I was feeling down I got a call on my Cell phone from a number I didn't recognize. I picked up and It was this kat named "Inch-One". He's a graff head outta Waterbury that I met through myspace a while back when he hit me up about my music saying He was feeling it. He actually did a Banner for me like 8 months ago so I could take to shows.

Anyway he called me up and said, "Yo Quest You gotta head down to the South End Wreck!" 'I'm like "why, What up?" He said, "you know that spot where you shot one of the scenes for the Why I Write video, I just Rocked your Name there". Then he was like, "you should head down there and take some pictures of it before anybody goes over it"

So I finish my coke, grabbed my camera and headed down to the gutter that is the south side of Waterbury. I parked the whip and when I stepped out all I could smell was Krylon in the air. I started walking towards the newly decorated wall and was overwhelmed when I saw it. I'm standing there checking out this piece of art somebody made for ME and felt brand new. The disappointment from that radio bullshit was gone. That hot 93.7 contest did not accurately represent the impact my music has on people, but this Graff Piece did. Inch-One casted his vote for Quest on the wall of the south end wreck's outdoor basketball court. That to me meant more to me than any wack radio contest.

Much love Inch

I gotta tell you, that's a nice piece he dedicated man. Dope story too. You obviously know the impact your music can have. I really hope you keep the grind going regardless of the bullshit. People love real hip-hop; that doesn't need a vote.
