I like the fact that the demographic of it all like it's little babies all the way up to senior citizens. Shay, when we was on your show today, she was telling me about how her daughter listens to my music Doggieland then we was at another function other night and somebody was telling me and Dre how they listened to my kid music, Doggland. This is music that I made for my grandkids. That's becoming a big hit for me on the low and it's not publicized because I don't want to publicized. It's something that I'm doing for the kids to give them education. Like Dre said, to change the system, Like I'm not changing the curriculum, but I'm changing that toddler age from toddler's to five. What type of music are you listening to? What inspiration are you getting before you start learning about education in school? So that's the things that I'm most proud of. Then I got to Snoop you Special Stars. But we deal with kids with autism and special needs and that's been going on for like six seven years, and we show parents how to take those kids that they've been hiding and bring them out and have a good time. We've been doing great functions with them, Like these are the moments that mean the most to me. Like that's my accolade to be able to give back to a kid that has no opportunity because I was that same kid.

And how much gang violence that we stopped from coming together. That's the ultimate like and before me and Dre got together, Compton and Loan Beach didn't see how to eye. So when we got together, we forced the issue because our music was so good and they connected both of us to where we realized, man, what we're tripping with them for men in my homeboys, And it established a relationship to where gang violence dropped between those two cities. And that's something that I'm proud of because I know so many people that was gang bangers became rappers.
