you here in Houston you know like my little upbringing was was you know
involved in the arts it's really crazy how I drew a connection and everything
in Houston was influenced my art and sport this is my buddy Nelson's in 2015

she's like hey watch this game watch some Cowboys you're a Cowboys fans we're
all Cowboys fans you're gonna be a Cowboys fan I don't think I've ever
missed a game since then I just stuck to it I always stuck with my team never
hopped on another bandwagon how did that commitment to the cowboy start
translating into music I was building my music career and then just took off for
me as organic viral moment just to combine my favorite team and my music my
passion put it all together it's like do you think you're changing the perception
of Latinos and hip-hop slavery I think so because there's there's always
stereotypes you know certain people don't like rap and then they heard my
song they like noun like rap music but when I heard your cowboy song you know I
love it so it's a good feeling
we've got between the Dallas Cowboys and Adolphus this is Little Havana a
neighborhood unique to Miami that really shows the diversity in the Latino
experience here in the US and it's in that diversity of experiences that we
find the skills and the craft to truly express our passion we're gonna meet

Tango's polity was two years ago when they started to realize that you know
I'm actually like playing at a high level and I could actually make good
money off the game and that's one day you know this artist supported me a lot
more you know my dad started watching more and tried to give me advice on the
game and you know if you see something in real life you says oh can I use this
in game or so stuff like that you know I know Madden and real life is different
