agency or producer I have shown is like “Oh wow, that ending is crazy.” And actually there is a part two. I am already almost one hundred pages in to part two right now. SM: Will Sarah (Downey) be involved with writing the second series? AS: Basically what I do is I write it out and then I have a team of script writers. Sarah will be involved as well. They put it into script format. I don’t really know how to write script format.

And it has been so needed. These stories have been needed to be told. This is the music that is still relevant today that was made twenty years ago. I don’t know if a lot of today’s music is going to have that effect. AS: In my cd player that’s the same stuff I still have. I have some new stuff too, like 2Chainz and of course some G-Eazy. I have the E-40 “In a Major Way,” you know I am always bumping that. I have Tupac “All Eyez ۙB
