We heard him shot out Emory and set him straight when he got out of jail, as expected. He fell out with Dame, but seemed to take a lot of his day one's with him to the top like Ta Ta. Fast forward to Jay-Z becoming one of the greatest hustlers the rap game has ever known. You could feel their closeness in Jay-Z's early songs. The summer of '96, I couldn't wait for Jay-Z's classic debut album, "Reasonable Doubt" to drop and I copped it day one! I always heard Jay shout out his ace boon, Dehaven on albums and wondered who this cat was. Dehaven's story of how he touched down in Maryland reminded me of those days. I was 22 years old then and Kankakee was sewed up by my big cousin who ran a crew of Vice Lord's down there and they was moving major weight. If you're a day one Jay-Z fan like me, his music provided the soundtrack to my young adult life! I relocated to Chi-town from Inglewood in '92 and ended up living in this small hick town called Kankakee for about 6 months in '96. ![]()
