Marcel Allen has been creating music since he was seven years old. Originally from Freeport — a village in the town of Hempstead, Long Island — the 25-year-old rapper has fond memories of growing up as an only child less than two hours away from Manhattan. Allen, who is 6’4’’, was an athlete and he played sports like football and baseball during his adolescent years. But his main focus was basketball, getting invited to camps and even going to basketball camp with Kyrie Irving.
