Believe It or Not…
You can’t really tell by looking at this photo but living (jazz) legend Gary Bartz is a fellow ‘Lo head. Just thought I’d share this fun fact with you guys. Peace!
The "2" fingers denote the number of 'Lo Heads photographed in this picture.
Shouts:
- To my photographer wife Krista. Although she didn’t use her expensive-ass camera, she still did a Hell of a job… with my iPhone.
Thanks babe. - Gary Bartz thanks for being a ‘Lo Head & one Hell of a musician. The first time we met was at B.B. Kings on 42nd Street in NY at The Roots’ party. You rocked. Word… Props due!
Post Script: Click on photo for further commentary. If you didn’t know this about my blog by now… Shame on you! *smh* 
Whats a lo head?

Does several Comforter Sets/ Bags/ fragrances count???

Not really. You’d have to get more than a few hours of usage out of each item on a daily basis.

“Mugabe” shirt? This is a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt I’m wearing in this photo. Laguna Bob Camp shirt to be exact. I rarely take sample “advice” from people because I would feel like they think they’d be entitled so some credit for recommending the sample… & I’m not really one to share credits so easily. I’m stingy. I’m just though I’m stingy. I’ll only give credit where I feel credit is due. Thanks for the tip though. I don’t own any of her albums & now I probably won’t ever. I’ve sampled from jazz artists in the past. Check some of my older work. You’ll hear it (i.e. “Love”).

I was born in ‘76. Bronx, NY (United States) but my entire immediate family is from Cameroon, West Africa. I didn’t choose to be “underground”; that’s actually an entry level & it’s the ‘fans’ (or lack thereof) which keeps us here. I’m glad you found out about me eventually. Better late than never which is what I always say. You may have heard some of my work & not known it. Do you own Mos Def’s first album? If so, I produced about 3 songs on there. It’s all about reading credits. Trust!

Thanks for having favorites. Also, just to add, I do not play the piano (or “keys” ad you referred to them by). I only chop up old samples.
