Phonte:

Yoyo…

Hope all is well with you in the New Year, brother. 

Yoh:

My man. Same to you. What’s up?

Phonte:

I’m executive producing a web series that’s shot in Durham called “Hype” and wanted to know if you guys were interested in doing a piece on it. Piece/interview whatever...

Yoh:

What’s Hype about?

Phonte:

It’s about three people in Durham and how their lives intersect. Basically Hoop Dreams, but with rappers… lol

Yoh:

Haha, gotcha. Let me finish up the last few days of the Dreamville “rap camp” and we will coordinate. 

Phonte:

All good, bro. I can send you a link to the joint whenever you’re ready.

Yoh’s piece/interview with Phonte Coleman and Holland “VacayVacayVacay” Gallagher was published on February 26, 2019.

The essay began with a quote. 

“If you don't play, how can you expect to win?”
