David: Levi Maestro Speaks at Schools

Levi Maestro Speaks at Schools from Scott Regan on Vimeo.

The video above is of Maestro Knows, one of our biggest inspirations, and his recent trip to a Las Vegas high school to speak to a group of students. As I was watching this video I ended up noticing someone that gave us props on our TKFV vs. LA video at the 2:37 mark. It ended up being our homie Christian Astorga aka ChristianFGY (check out his website here). When I was talking to him last night he said all he did was show his broadcast journalism teacher his stuff and he emailed him to come to the school. Sure enough Maestro came and made another dope video. Check it out up top!
