HHDX: If rapping doesn’t work for you, what are your next plans?
JR: I’d probably keep doing what I’m doing with school. I’d love to teach high school or college. I imagine that I’d use that to pay the bills. I’m not afraid of work. I’ve shoveled snow, painted houses, work construction… I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I’ll always be in a community whether I’m paid or not. It’s not about money that fills me up. Smiles, justice, all the things that they're not trying to pay us to do fill me up. People aren’t told that all the time, but it’s the truth… you can get paid to give back.

HHDX: You stood out amongst your competitors on the show, but you made it to the final three. What do you think was your opinion of your fellow castmates?
JR: I think the same with my opinion on how people do what they do. Each of them brought their own style, their own energy and I’m just blessed to have met them. Personally, I’m always down to build with anyone to cultivate people’s dreams. But if getting down with working with the community were an obstacle, then that would be a problem with me. I’m down for whatever though. But if no one wants to work for a better cause, then that’s fine. I still wish the best of luck to them all.
