He shares how, after he blew up as a solo artist, everything dried up and he became homeless, broke and depressed. Then rebirth. Web designer, photography, one of the world's preeminent  DJ's.

Ganxsta NIP Returns (2023)

Another sad edition of the Damage Control Program on KPFT in Houston. On this night we gave it up to another fallen legend, Mr. 3-2, one of the most DAY ONE REALEST INNOVATIVE MC'S TO EVER COME OUT OF HOUSTON!

His influence was infinite and he was literally a part of every era of Houston rap from day one until today. His legacy lives on forever. On this show you will hear classic songs, and lots of real talk about the man himself. The Wicked Buddha Baby, The Governor, Fatt Domino, Lord 3-2, MAY YOU REST IN POWER AND PEACE!

And as if this wasn't sad enough, the final caller on the show to call in and show love was Ivory P, who was killed by police in Baytown, Texas less than one week later. H-Town mayne...
