Grew up in TN, Started rapping around age 16 while in church. Performed on stage a few times. After highschool I couldn't get my life together, had no car, no driver's license, working fast food at 22 with no plan for my future. Finally had a breakdown then joined the Army at 23. Continued my passion of writing rap songs, rapped in front of Drill Sergeants during basic training after people found out I could rap. Did a little recording during my time serving in South Korea. After completing my contract I moved to Maryland to start a new life. Dropped the passion to write after losing my faith and dealing with personal stuff, but recently picked it back up as a form of therapy and release. Hope I can connect with people and just do my part to contribute to the art and the culture.
