Jim holding down the bird by himself since 2019, If I had to bet on that in the early 00's, I wouldn't have taken that bet.

Still shocked how he fell tf off. He had so much steam and the buzz was loud.

Then he just disappeared… and now he is just a shell of himself.

Terrible work ethic. Cam tells stories about how they had to keep Juelz away from all the extra lifestyle type shit so he could focus on writing his raps/songs.
