Members from Team #IFWT have a special message for you after the jump…
Happy Birthday Flex!!! I’m beyond grateful for having a boss like you. Being your assistant has taught me things that 100 years of schooling could have NEVER taught me. I feel blessed to witness first hand some of the DOPE things you’ve accomplished — and the MANY more to come. If people only knew the real you — they would realize how amazing of a person you really are.
You truly are a business, mannnn!! (had to throw a Hov reference in there – lol)
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family and I can’t thank you enough for everything. Enjoy your day!!!
– Sabrina B. aka GameTimeGirl
ps. Brooklyn says happy birthday too!

Sorry to cut in line, IFWT editor in chief here coming through, FAM!!! It’s 2015 and we are out here on top of this Digital, you’re the King of Hip Hop radio, and the team is flourishing, and yet, we are continually planning bigger and better things, just a testate to how hard you work, how intelligent you are, and the proof that life is what you make it!!!! I started out on the street team way back when, moved up to running boards, and when I became the assistant Producer for your show I was still confused on what I was doing with myself, but you(and Dennis) showed me so much on how to get ahead, but when we started this site, you gave me purpose in life! You helped me uncover my hidden talent, that day we sat down for lunch at a digital conference, you looked at me and said “you were meant to do this”, I took that to heart and I can’t Thank You enough!!!!! My nigga, I’m with you til the wheels fall off…and even when they fall off, we’ll get replacements and keep going!!!! Tat Wza
