This Episode features Skin Deep . I was very good friends with one of the members ( Greg Gaddy) of this group. Greg and I wrote the original version of the song Don't Be Afraid back in 1993. I miss him dearly.

@ms.punkie9580 @R_L_1369look at the year, 1995. Whether this performance was right before the infamous 1995 Source Awards (which took place just a few miles from this theater) or right after, in 1995, the atmosphere in New York was thicc with animosity toward outsiders because the West Coast had just taken over the rap game for the previous 2 years, and now the South was coming.
