🎬 THE HEIGHTS IS BACK! 🇩🇴🇺🇸🔥

You’ve heard all the stories… except this one.

Born out of Washington Heights, rooted in Dominican culture, and inspired by the people, the streets, and the stories that make this neighborhood one of a kind.

This first micro episode is cut from the original footage we shot back in 2013 it’s raw it’s real we worked with what we had. We’re bringing the story back to life, releasing it in 3-minute micro episodes while we work on producing the series again.

A piece of Washington Heights history, made with love for the community and the culture that inspired it all.

FOR THE HEIGHTS. FOR THE CULTURE. FOR THE PEOPLE. 🇩🇴❤️🗽

Hope everyone enjoys it. We’re just getting started! 🔥 #show #nyc #stories #hustlers #dominican

Back home in Dominican Republic to inaugurate our new computer lab and seeing some of our kids from the volleyball & basketball court were developing. Thankful for the opportunity to make a change, for this and all the communities that we serve.

Doing this with Charlie makes it extra special given that we’ve been friends since we were 12 years old and came up together. We’re excited for what the future looks like for all of these kids and just want to help as much as we can. I can never forget all the people and coaches that poured into us and what it meant for someone to believe in you at a young age. I hope it can make a difference and spark something in these kids like it did for us.

When we first met the bishop he wasn’t sure if we would be back. This time Andy & I brought friends with us and told him we will be back again.

Love that Genesis is a graduate from OSF and now is here working to make a change on the ground for our people

Familia 🫶🏽

When you’re from NY love is love 🧡💙

I hope they know how much this means to us as well

Had an afternoon meeting with John Leguizamo. I’m as proud as can be for my brother. His career is doing phenomenally well and he deserves it. It’s great working with him again.

Since this story is making the rounds again via @allthesmoke podcast. As Grant Hill & his beautiful wife Tamia know, I have nothing but love for them and we have all shared a laugh about this but History has shown us I did my home town @nyknicks a huge favor as injuries kept Grant from ever being the player he was in Detroit. It would have been another max player the Knicks signed without ever getting the max out of him. Also I didn’t send that tape to Grant, the #NYKnicks staff did, so they deserve the credit not Me (:!
Guess I should make my own appearance on #AiiTheSmoke soon.
