Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. Arra began performing at an early age with his family's band. When he migrated to Cincinnati for college, he honed his skills on the battle circuit under the names "Strezz" and "The Guvna". This culminated with a critically acclaimed mixtape with DJ Green Lantern in 2008. Re-branded and re-focused Arra is back to stake his claim in Hip-Hop. You're Welcome.
