This piece is a great, new, and personal look at such a commonly misconceived place- the Chicago 'hood. Keith's voice clearly relays his passion for his home, and his desire to give others a different view. Throughout this piece, it is easy to tell how comfortable Keith is at a microphone. A small drawback to the overall feel of the piece is the too-harsh sounding music that concludes it. After the light-hearted vibe of his story, the music doesn't seem to fit. One aspect of Keith's story that I particularly enjoyed was when he spoke about the specific characters at the game, and I think describing more people would have been a huge addition. Spoken over well-placed effects, his simply-worded but enthusiastically delivered narrative is awesome to listen to.
