Baje would bring his music to parties, hoping people would like it. They would let it play continuously all night, overheating their equipment.

While a lot of people would trade their souls to relive their youth, it’s important to appreciate one’s current surroundings, smell the roses and not worry too much about the passing of time.

Back in the early days, their equipment was comparatively primitive and Baje remembers it distinctly, perhaps fondly.

Like with the aforementioned headband, Baje might have prioritized his appearance too much as a young rapper.

Baje tried to find his own style and stayed humble like Redman did.

While Juggaknots and legendary underground group Company Flow performed on one stage of The Wetlands, young Baje One honed his craft on the stage downstairs, struggling to provide energy.

Baje One was a bona fide backpacker who wore a Knicks headband.

In response to Probe Cell Split’s question, Baje nods his head like he used to do as a teenager at rap shows on school nights at the NYC concert venue, The Wetlands.

In spite of the nostalgia that comes with reflecting on and getting lost in memories of our youth, people must and always do continue to move forward with their lives, mechanically yet miraculously.

People must make the best of their situation and go onward and upward with their lives but not burst under the pressure.
