Doug E. Fresh

Hip-hop is supposed to uplift and create, to educate people on a larger level and to make a change.

Health has always been an important thing to me. I exercise and try to take care of myself, and drink a lot of water! And I push that to my kids so that they can carry on that same energy.

I'm forever learning and that's why I'm always able to create new styles and new dimensions of hip-hop.

People can look to me as a teacher, but I consider myself a student of hip-hop.

I've learned how to look at things and not judge them, but respect them and use it in a way that people understand that I respect them, show them love and respect their reality.
