Gamed'Up: How Long Have You Been Racing? 
LK: About 2 years. semi pro. Streets since highschool.
Gamed"Up: What Advice Would You Give To Someone Who Wants To Drive/Race Cars?
LK: Stick to what u like. it can posdibly become discouraging if it begins to frustrate you. I've never seen it as a task, and thats what keeps it fun. Yes its a good amount of money, but if you can handle the costs. The reward and excitement is staggering in comparison.
Gamed"Up: What Made You Go Into Cars?
LK: To keep it 100, i was raised into it. pops had em, and he used to sit me on his lap when I was 5 and let me steer when we were out at our family spot for the summer. from there, when I was like 13 i used to steal the car when pops would go to sleep I would mobb all over the hood, and do wild shit. from there he just started buying me cars, to keep me out of his I would wreck the shit out of em, probably tryin some video game like maneuver then he would cop another.... It was kinda bad for me, because I didn't realize the value and privledge of having a car back then I just thought it was like gettin some new shoes, figured I was supposed to have em. that point forward, I couldnt live without cars. it grew to the love affair that i have today with em. I got a car lot outside.
Gamed"Up: So What Is Your Favorite Memory With A Car? Just 1
LK:Ha, shit... so many. aiight, lets see. back when I first started foolin' with makin my cars fast, we used to freeway race alot. My rx7 had about 365whp, and i was pretty damn fast. my homie did a 6 cylinder swap in his 240sx, and we were goin for a few freeway pulls to test it out, It became evident early on in the night his shit was getting aired out still, so we had a clever idea to see how fasy I could reel him in once he got to 120mph so I sat back at 70mph, he took off. we had nextels at the moment, and he chirped me when to chase him down well when he hit me I blast off. I was smooth haulin ass, we were coming past pinole when i started coming up to 155mph I caught him at the hilltop exit and blew past him, when i looked over at him as i passed, i saw contra costa county sheriff getting on the freeway at the speed I was going, And the mentality I had he was in for a long night My homie saw him and stood on the brakes, said dude didnt even care about him... he came after me, but I just kept it pedaled, and jumped thru a few cars. my nextel keeps goin off with a nigga laughing my patnah comes over the mic talkin bout "blood this is hilarious" homie doesnt know where youre at, and everytime you switch gears or let off the gas flames are lighting up the freeway, and he turns back on his lights to persue your last location..." well by that time im off the freeway to the crib, and he said the police stayed in pursuit of a ghost toward oakland. that was kinda like my day to day at that time, but that has to be one of the more memorable pursuits.
GamedUp: What Cars Impress You?
LK: Well put together ones.. I'm a fan of form and function. If it looks clean and low... and just happens to be fast, im wit it. the right set of wheels that arent too big for thw body of the car, and the proper ride height go a long way for me. but I will tell you the shit I HATE! them dumb ass tonka lookin cars on ferris wheels. wheels so big you cant even see the brakes past the center if the wheel. people that do that kinda shit, simple minded.... you cant even stop the car properly, not to even mention turn that dumb ass shiy without eatin the back of yo' fenders up. lol, fools make the suspension so stressed the car bounces around lookin like its on a piece of solid metal. shit like that has me dyin laughin in traffic. my shit 2 inches off the ground and the 2 years off the ground... but to get back on topic, and off my pet peeve... im all about ride height, and clean bodys. thats whats dope.
 
Gamed"Up: Do You Wanna Give Out Any Shout Outs?
LK: yea, matter of fact I do. shouts to all the black dudes that fool with imports, im starting to see more now.... might be cause yall foolin with asian girls more, but makes me not stick out so much anymore. shout out to the wife, holdin down the homefront and helpin me change tires at the track. shouts go to my crew, SYTFU "shut you the fuck up" (if you have to ask)... keepin it solid in 11'. shouts to my bro' and all my cousins also, shout outs to my homie, and mentor in this cut throat motorsports game, justin. hope you dont wreck my shit filmin this movies, haha... and for the most part you, my nigg.. keep'n it 100.
Gamed"Up: What's Next For You?
LK: Uh, well like i just mentioned briefly.. Im taking part in a independent film being shot in LA. I've been sourced to provide my vehicle for the flick. so I will be back and forth to socal for the next few weeks. also the new season is getting ready to gear up, and I plan to bust a move bigtime. lastyear i had small issues that plauged my season, this year Im bustin out solid, and really want to leave an empression out there. Other than that, keep building, and collectin fresh cars make moves with my son, since he started driving this year. hopefully I can get him on the road to riches, and I can finally quit workin.... well, in my dreams, but you get the idea.
