Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

Oh, gone rogue. Got it. She's got the kiss of death part down. Anyway, you know me. Any excuse to make a lame X-Men joke or post a cover from the golden years of Uncanny. Damn, they were dope. That, for my money, is the best line-up. The Australian one was good too.
