The time he did gave Gianni a change to gain a "sense of self." A notion he speaks of when he performs his music. He recalled a recent show in Riverside, Calif.

"I got on stage and said 'Who in here has ever been locked up?' more than half the room [went wild.] Then I said 'Whatch'all know about sense of self?' Almost all of 'em were yellin, just cause I had a mic in my hand, but they don't have a clue."

Finding his 'self' is a task Harris charged himself with the last couple of years. He has focused on his music and education. Currently, his major at Cal State Long Beach is music. He wants to make great music with a positive influence on society.

The Danger Zone is Harris' radio show on KBeach. It airs Wednesdays 4 to 6 p.m. He uses it as a platform to showcase not so well known hip-hop and rap acts along side the more established ones. He'll play Little Brother, one of his favorite underground artists, and then flip to Busta Rhymes, one of the greats.

The acronym of his alter-ego stands for "Guaranteed I'm Always Near New Immediate . . . Danger."
"And not always bad danger," he added, "it could be danger of falling in love."

He raised his eyebrow and gave a half smile with that remark. Such a handsome, talented young man, and no girlfriend?

"I hate em, I hate em, I hate em." He suddenly turned into a nine-year-old, disgusted by cooties.

His search for himself is a journey he decided to go on alone. His last serious girlfriend cheated on him while he was down and out and he doesn't quite trust them.

"I think I'm more open now."

Ladies, any takers.
