Cream Rises To The Top | Episode 142

Cream rises to the top is a saying that you might have heard in many forms. if you're a fan of music you probably heard Wu-tang Clan say it in their hit song C.R.E.A.M. If you are an old-school wrestling fan you might heard macho man randy savage's monologue talking about him being "The Cream Of The Crop."

in this episode, Akeem reminds us why quality is important. Quality work cannot go unnoticed for long.
