Word Is Bond
All props and no knocks

First and foremost, I would like to thank Blizz Kid and 6th Militant for their confidence in me from the very first day that they had me drop on their beats that they sweat for. They tossed me beats and they knew that I would push myself to come up with proper and on-point lyrics for 'em. Not only that, but they put their time and effort in helping me record my tracks. Straight up, without these guys I would still be rapping acapella not knowing what beats are.

Big ups to Kurt Young aka Apollo and Ragga. I know I'm a pain in the ass, but you know I just do it because I just plain don't like you. For real though, he's supported me since I recorded Voice of a Riot in 2003, Counteract 2004 and the only mixtape I did in late 2004. I know you're straight up hatin' on Counteract because "I dumbed down my lyrics", but it's all good. You're forgiven because I owe you money and you're co-engineering Rebel's Doctrine. I also have a bunch of your DVD's and PS2 games that I don't plan on ever returning so you're definitely forgiven.

Tek (Paul, Justin or whatever you call yourself), Atufa, Shaila and May for all the hard work you guys put towards the Political Hip-Hop Association. Also, big ups to Hasan Salaam, Sofia Baig and Impact for all their help with the PHHA. 

To the UDS and Raw Disciplez crew, you guys had a huge part in my growth as a rapper and I can't even begin to start reminiscin' about all the goods times. Randy (Phylle), Carlos (Blade), Tyrone (Brickhouse), JX (as he calls himself, "That nigga JX" - honestly, dawg, I forgot your real name, haha), Mahendra (K-Watts), Yasin (Yasin the Assassin), Nurdine and Manny Cordeiro (Manny Fresh!). All those freestyle sessions in high school, getting mad people skip class for us, blasting our boombox, getting it confiscated and finding a beatboxer so we can keep rapping, ghost stories at 11pm at night at school then having all these rappers run home when Yasin got spooked by something, Goetz-A-Java, Tyrone cooking for all of us at his crib and No Mercy on N64, Tyrone wanting to only freestyle on recorded tracks and always wanting to kick my ass, Blizz's 16 year old rant about how women should not be cops, JX's skit about how the cops give him guns in prison, JYD's diss track towards all of us ("Randy wears jerseys that fit" - "That Filipino dude, he's not a rapper, I guess he's just not in the mood" - haha, man, that track was the best) and on and on.  Man, we need one big reunion for sure and at least one kickin' dope track with all of us on it. Good times.

Non hip-hop related (for the most part) thanks for the people that kept life alive and kickin' and one way or another helped out a lot ...

Big ups to Ohms, Fareed, Ali, Yumar, Talha (quit pressing refresh on my MySpace!) and Woo. 'Nuff props to Sabra, Safiyyah, Zaahirah, Souzy, Anika, Camille, Ayah, Sadiya D., Umeimah and Zeena (SAI, brrruppp!), Ausma, Garvey, Zeeshan, Hani, Kristina, Asmaa, Ramya, Fatima K., Hamzah and Xhovy. Thanks to the University of Toronto Students' Union, Erindale Part-Time Undergraduate Students' Union and UTM/St.George MSA's for all the good works they got me involved in. Finally, to those that came and went but left a lasting mark.

Ya Allah, thank you for this beautiful life.
