Denny had heard by word of mouth about a talented performer from Tacoma, Washington known as: [C.A.U.T.I.O.N]. Denny was impressed when he first saw [C.A.U.T.I.O.N.] tell his story through slam poetry.

"He's very unusual for a rapper," said Todd Denny, founder of the Men's Violence Prevention program. "He sings and raps about songs that make a difference, songs that have a consciousness to them, that have a political flavor. Not the typical money and 'hoe's and cars."

"He literally is one of the best in the world," Denny said.
