Yo.
This is the most meaningful documentary I produced for Current TV…by a fucking long shot.
Sometime in 08, I was invited to Yuma, Arizona by the homies Johnny Awesome and Legal Alien to perform with Odd Thomas and the crew. I took that opportunity to bring a camera crew and document the challenges the homie CJ (Citizen Aim) was experiencing with his illness, Cystic Fibrosis.
I didn’t know jack shit about CF when we started. When we got there, I saw its impacts up close and personal, though.
Fuck, it wasn’t long after this that CJ passed away.
He left a deep impact in Yuma, hip hop and beyond. I’m happy that this video helps, in some small way, to preserve his legacy. One love to the #openaired family for life and through death.
