- Do you know this Cat's resume?

This is cracked one

of the world's most famous graffiti artists.

He got kidnapped in Africa.

He's been kidnapped before.

- Talk to him.

- Held for ransom.

- Hold up, pop, pop, pop.

Yo Joe, the life you live is unbelievable.

They need to make a movie about your life,

it's so inspiring.

- Hey yo, hey yo, hold on.

Remember that time you brought Pablo Escobar?

- Yo, yo, yo chill, chill, chill, chill

- Charles, Charles, Charles,

- Brothers, brothers
