Was classmates with Pharoah Monch and Prince Po, they were known as Organized Konfusion back in the day. Also Kwame, with the polka dots, and Mr. Complex, all rappers I used to make beats with banging on the tables at lunch time in high school. I also was classmates with a uber talented guy named James Parris, who has done special effects work for movies like Avatar, Spider-Man, games like Mass Effect, all kinds of stuff. He also has his own film company, Paper Tiger Films. My high school, Art and Design in Manhattan, spawned some high profile talent for sure.
