Teddy explained that he went every day that he was able, and they finally gave him a shot after their keyboard player quit. Teddy added that the guys in the band said that they would take his Casio keyboard if he didn’t nail the audition, which he did. Teddy then explained how being in the band led to him getting noticed, and he was given advice to get a band with people that were more his age. Teddy then revealed that he met Timmy Gatling around that time, along with Aaron and Damion Hall, who were later in the group Guy with him. From there, Teddy spoke about watching the legendary battle between Busy Bee and Kool Moe D, which is when Teddy said that he started getting in the streets and hustling.
