Born in Hayward California, raised around the Bay Area from Oakland and Skyline Hills to Jose and Fremont. I started listening to hip-hop when I was very young. Was around for the 2pac and Biggie days. Believe it or not I was more into R&B than anything. First song I ever bought was on a cassette tape. It was Usher "My Way". Just the single. A side was the whole song. B side was the instrumental. That's when I started to try to flow. After that was a 112 cassette. First Cd I owned was En'vouge. Eventually I began singing in the church choir. Started singing solo and was in love with R&B. Throughout my years my family has been through a lot and instead of releasing my emotion out to people, I released through my pen on paper. By my freshman year I had about 3 composition books filled with; poetry, slow songs, raps, some beats in my head. I was in tune with the way one could twist words and deliver them. Just like everyone else relationships played a role in my writing. But that's its own book. At my church me and some of my Bay fam started dancing. Krump to pop locking a lil bit of turf and of course we go dumb. But during that phase I asked that question "was this the extent of my talent." I had to much to say and the church was not the place to spit my mind. So I started doin in home recording with my Nigga Chris. We started growing up, but we was still making music for the church. I'm not dissin Christian hip-hop cause I love it. But for the rated X part of my life I needed to be real. I started listening to old records and some new; LL Cool J, KRS-One, Run DMC, Common, Mos Def, Public Enemy, Naughty by Nature, Souls of mischief, Talib, Nas, Ice Cube, Snoop, Dre, E-40, Richie Rich, Warren G and the list goes on, but after doing research I fell in love with storytelling. I began writing real legit lyric,first song was "Bayside Blues." It was my first not so Christian song. After that I had more fam bam issues, life issues, relationship issues and I lost my job. So one day I woke up and decided to move to LA. Told my mom we worked it out and in about a week I was there. No job no money. Tried to do the school thing but I wanted to do more. Got into LA recording school met some coo people and I began to spit more and more...... So now I'm here doing my collaborations with the future of hip-hop. So stay tuned for the real.
