I put $100,000 into Coinbase when people said crypto was a scam. That check became worth more than everything I earned from Illmatic.
Queensbridge taught me to see opportunity where other people see risk. Every startup I invest in reminds me of hustling — same energy, different game.
The best investments serve people who have been ignored. Coinbase gave regular people access to crypto. Ring gave regular people home security. That is the pattern.
I am not a tech expert. I am a culture expert. I know what regular people want before Silicon Valley figures it out.
I have invested in over 100 companies. Most of them failed. The ones that worked paid for everything plus a lifetime of lessons.
Hip-hop and venture capital have the same rule: bet on yourself when nobody else will.
