| 3 | "I'm so excited to drop some New York flava on the Masked Singer stage. Because this city of dreams where I come from is a source of everything that made me, me. My neighborhood got a bad rap. It's the kind of place that most people wouldn't dream of getting down with. These streets are where I developed my interest in electronics as a kid. I used to take apart mom's toaster, my sister's hair dryers, just to see how they worked. All that tinkering eventually sparked another knock out idea that helped me turn the tables on the entire music industry. This bad boy invented a sound no one was making. My legendary status helped put my broken borough on the map. Now, I'm here to honor a fellow New Yorker who helped change the game, just like me." |
