Growing up in one of Massachusetts most violent cities, Brockton, Manny was introduced to the fast life; when drugs, violence, and hustling began to take a toll on his outlook on life. At the tender age of five years old Manny’s father split and left he along with his three brothers Jose, Carlos, and Peter to grow up alone with there mother Juanita who raised Manny and his brothers by herself. With a deadbeat father and a family full of high school drop outs, drug dealers, & gang bangers it wasn’t easy to see where Manny was headed. At the age of 11 he began his quest of fulfilling his families’ footsteps. Learning from relatives the ways of the streets Manny caught on very fast. With his life rattled from poverty and shame, he was determined to give his family what they never had, money. Living off of welfare, subsidized housing, and getting handouts from food pantries and second hand clothing stores for 11 years motivated Manny to want better in life. This is when he realized being a minority, Puerto Rican, and poor he had the odds stacked up against him; especially in a society were race and wealth was a major factor of your placement in the Brockton community.Manny was a very disturbed and angry boy throughout his adolescent years. He had trouble bonding with friends and relatives. He also had trouble revealing his feelings. Manny kept all of his inner thoughts and emotions to himself. By age 12 Manny was bound to be another statistic; dead at an early age or behind bars. Heavily into the street life, hustling, fighting, and robbing people it seemed as if he would never straighten his life out. This is when rap and poetry began to affect Manny and his ways of thinking. He stumbled upon a way of venting and channeling his anger. But this didn’t stop his ambition to make money and get out of the street way of life. With a ruthless attitude and a chip on his shoulder he felt as if he had nothing to loose in life.At this time in Manny’s life nothing mattered. He felt as if life wasn’t worth living. Manny began smoking weed heavily. Until one day he was introduced to football. This is when Manny began to change his life around. Manny found that boost he needed in life. With his tenacious attitude and aggression football was the right thing for him, his ruthlessness transferred from the streets onto the field, and it was easy to see Manny had a future playing football. With this in mind he began to leave the streets and slowly began to chase a dream he felt was worth living for. With Poetry and rap touching his inner being and football channeling his need for physical punishment he felt as if life was worth living. Manny went on to win a high school football Super Bowl Championship for the Brockton High School Boxers. Manny was named a “Big Three All-Star” and received “Honorable Mentions” from The Enterprise, Boston Globe, and Herald for the “All-Scholastic Award”. He then entered his freshmen year of college at Bridgewater State on a full scholarship in hopes of gaining some size and experience before transferring to a Division 1A school.Then tragedy hit! Manny suffered a massive injury that would end his career in football and his dream of ever making it pro. As if Manny didn’t have enough adversity to overcome throughout his young life another obstacle stood in his way. But this was a blessing in disguise. Manny took this opportunity to pursue his first love; RAP! With his love for rap and poetry he soon found another outlet where he could prosper in. Using his years of writing poetry and his love for rap as his backbone he became the artist the world will soon recognize as “OCTAVIAN”! He instantly fell in love with the rush of making records.
