Thrasher introduced him to ‘A Tribe Called Quest’, whose song, “Award Tour,” instantly became a favorite of Jared's. He then came across "The World is Yours" from Nas while playing Tony Hawk pro skater. These experiences led Jared on a journey to discover a whole world of hip-hop music that he had not previously known. Longing for more music, Jared quickly became a student of hip-hop. He began spending countless hours digging in record crates and studying old music.
