The good ol days :mjgrin: I had to look him up to see whatever happened to him. Funny when I think about Ahmad, for whatever reason Skee-Lo pops in my head. Memories cross paths at times.

Hip Hop Artist Ahmad Ali Lewis to Deliver Keynote Address at Long Beach City College Graduation Ceremony • Long Beach Post

Lewis, known for his classic chart-topping song “Back in the Day”, graduated from LBCC as class valedictorian in 2008. He then transferred to Stanford University on scholarship and received a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2010 and last month earned a master’s degree in social work and a pupil personnel services credential.

Now the 41-year-old works with children, youth and families as a clinical social worker as well as recording new songs and writing a self-help book chronicling his experiences in the music industry and academia, officials stated. In 2010, he launched We Celebrate Life+People, a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to empowering communities through partnerships that support entrepreneurship, education and advocacy.

I remember he was in 4th the Ave Jones group in the early 00's. And even married the woman in this video.

Not sure if they are still together now.(GMB)



Another random thing I remembered was seeing him in a rap battle getting roasted on UPN.
