#purestform

The word 'quintessence' originates from the Latin quinta essentia, meaning 'fifth essence'. It initially referred to a pure celestial element beyond earth, water, air and fire. Over time, it came to mean the most perfect or ideal example of something.

Unless you are home alone

That time Obama had the honor of sharing a newspaper cover w/ me & the squad 😉 Ngl...I severely miss writing (music, scripts, short stories, just writing period). & life ain't slowing down anytime soon. It's important now more than ever to balance responsibilities & self care. Definitely doable, especially after I continue tying up all life loose ends, increasing business efficiency, & being quicker to cut down/off "time wasters." I need all my 24 hours. I dream too big for anything less ⏰️ Thank you finding this A-ron. Pretty sure my copy is somewhere at my Pop's crib lol #PurestForm #WorthTheWait #EmceeLife #ArtistLife #GetFocused #Insight #IWantItAll https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciu_y98ONR_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dopeness. A few of the OGs in the scene have been working with the Minnesota Historical Society to get Twin Cities Hip-Hop recognized for its contributions to Minnesota music overall. This photo will be one of the featured photos, as it contains a plethora of Emcees, DJs, Breakers, Graffiti Writers, folks overall helped pushed the scene forward. I got to be a part of this photo, as well as my Bro @dialekmusic. We had to rep for the #PurestForm crew. See if y'all can find me lol ✊🏿 And also see how many others you can spot 🧐 #HipHop #TwinCities #GetFocused (at Minneapolis Institute of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CigxCjtOdkn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well two can play that game, BUDDY! 😂😂😂😂 My guy! ✊🏾 #Squad #PurestForm #4Life #DJLife #LetsTalkAboutSomeMusic #HipHop #JustHavingFun #SaintPaul #ShotsPaul #MidwaysFinest #TwinCities #Minnesota (at Stay At Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkPUi5B5w_/?igshid=nvvbznwms7hh

Happy Bornday old man @frederick_thugless! You're officially WASHED! 😂 We both know this isn't true (or I'll just stay in denial 🤷🏾‍♂️) but it's fun to say! Unfortunately I couldn't find within reaching distance any #Football pics nor "42 rollout pass" ("CENTRO!"), but here's others that capture a couple decades of friendship, from just kicking it after school, funny college stories, #PurestForm & all the shows, music, & "behind the scenes" (that's it, we're shooting a documentary 😂), #CCPP (forgot pics of this actually, but only the real ones know anyway ✊🏾), #Weddings, trips, & just too many memories I can't fit into words. Honestly, I've said all this on previous birthdays, but just like these pics, we've been through a lot, through thick & thin (that applies to weight & these hairlines 😂🤷🏾‍♂️🤣 I'll be coming on home too at some point, we had great runs 🤣). Here's to the OG side of life! Much love. And scratch decades of friendship, I meant decade of Brotherhood! ✊🏾 Salute! 🥃🥃 #HappyBirthday #40Club #Celebration #BlackExcellence #BlackBoyJoy #ThatsMyDawg https://www.instagram.com/p/CAOVME_hsWF/?igshid=40cj8u00choc

1st time #DJing at @firstavenue, but in my other #Life, I've hit the #Mainstage & #7thStreetEntry a few times with my #PurestForm Brothers. And no matter where I go in this #World, I'll always be a #TwinCities kid at heart, so any & every appearance/performance here will be special. 💜 🙌🏾 #JustTryingToMakeTheWorldABetterPlaceThroughMyArt #DJLife #MusicIsLife #LivingMyBestLife #Emcee #EmceeLife #Artist #BlackExcellence #BeardGang #DreadHead #PurifyYourself #MidwaysFinest #SaintPaul #Minneapolis #Minnesota (at First Avenue & 7th St Entry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rC7uXB4lk/?igshid=zlrjnad7qqhd
