Jay Antonio G ,

The real deal

These guys have an entertaining spirit with topics that we are all talking about. Genuine and unfiltered. Their friendship does not stop them from having varying views. I love it. Being from Los Angeles, I like knowing that people from NY have the very same concerns and beliefs.
