20 Or So: Samir Rojas

I just met Samir a little while ago, we chilled for a weekend with everybody.. It was his first time up here. It was his First time anywhere it seems.
Other than there of course, but I thought that must be clear by now..
The whole time he was lit off his ass and tired as fu"k. Maybe not tired though, as he did seem to get more sleep than everybody else.. He spoke as much intelligible english as he wanted. Which turned out to be not much. Takes alot of shit and gives it right back 100%. Rides like a quieter tight-panted version of Speedy González with a cigarette in his mouth.
And he is one baaaadmuthafucka.
don't let the wool get get pulled. He speaks fine english.. He just doesnt want you to know..


This interview was done over Jase's phone while everybody was burnin with his girlfriend chillin.. not ideal circumstances but it doesn't really matter does it...?
