Well first off I want to apologize for not making the awards. This is not something I would miss. For those who dont know me and my wife Synthia Figueroa are expecting a baby in early June. With that and the fact I have a 9-5 it was pretty hard to get there. Next year I WILL be there. I have heard so many great things about the awards. I saw alot of the pictures and I get more and more upset that I wasnt there. I am also honored to have won an award. I have not seen it personally yet but look forward to receiving it soon. Can someone post a list of who received awards that night? Latif, I will be more than happy to assist any way I can next year. You now have my number. Its not changing or anything either. LOL Again, I wish I was there to share this historic moment.
Willie Valentin
I am sorry to have missed such an historic event as well. Latif I plan to be more involved next year and also bring some goodies for the promo table. I haven’t had a chance to see all the pictures but I am sure I will feel just as mad a Willie when I see them. LOL! Ugh! I did catch Dan talking about it on Monday which was a great bonus for the listeners who didn’t get to go! I’m excited cause I have alot of new designs that have been sitting there cause we have been busy with team uniforms for my husbands side of the business and so I should be updating everything at the end of April.

Willie,
There was no doubt what so ever that you deserved to be acknowledged for the many years you put into the Freestyle market. All the artist you’ve been behind and the incredible music you have made for “Us”, thanks.
We all wish you and Synthia the very best and hope to see you guys(along with baby)at the 2009 FMA’s.
I truly hope that this award reignites that “Artistik” thing you are so well known for. Freestyle needs you. Take care and stay in touch.
La’
