They’re saying that I finally put Portland, Maine on the map.

Yes, there have been talks. Keys to the city & things of that nature. No need to get into it. Skeptics are always like, “What’s your secret?” Usually I let out a good chuckle. Smother my cigarette. Clear my throat real good. “Just a type of gravitas you either got or you don’t,” and leave it at that. Let folks sit in that uncomfortable truth. It can be destabilizing, sure. Most, however, will look at me and know that I move product, change minds. They fall in line. So I try not to let it get to my head.
