Next, PND revealed that the first album he had as a kid was the soundtrack to Space Jam, which featuring the iconic R. Kelly song, “I Believe I Can Fly.”
“I know the whole entire cassette,” said Party. “That was the first cassette that I always used to carry around with me, and R. Kelly changed my life with that song.”
Moving on they talked about his heritage, and the influence of Jamaican music in Canada. The vinyl gifts continued as they went through some historical records, and talked about PND’s old neighborhood.
