I recently met Chris Brown during a visit up to LA, he came off as a real chill laid back dude. I first heard about Chris Brown in a Props LA scene report, hence why he already seemed familiar when I met him... We got to talkin' and shortly after that I sessioned with him a few times, well actually I was riding and he was sorta riding, sorta gettin real high...
He's quite the chiller but his recent Volume web edit says differently, street killer! Keep on reading if you wanna know more...
