Welp lets start off by releasing the government name, John V Hickey III. Thats right im number 3,the third in a series of idiots and i do hope to add A forth to this world sumday. In most peoples eyes im the shit and those are the people that call me Hickweed. My music career started when i was younger. i usta love makin music with keyboards and harmonicas and recorders....stupid shit. i joined chorus in 3rd grade and hated it but thats when i took on the drums as well. after 8 years of that i started written raps at age 15. right away i fell in love with using my drum skills to develop my flow. sort of like a rhythmic pattern of bouncing syllables. i may not even know wut im talking about but it sounds good. in 2006 i met up with a bunch of guys that i knew from high school by going to their shows and watching them perform their raps. i was a huge fan of them, and loved collaborating with Donnie MAC especially in my attic. we would freestyle (him more often then me) and occasionally write a rap or 2. this was the start that let me in with belligerent entertainment. when it came time for them to relocate their studio i had the perfect place...my house! the moment everything arrived it was hooked up immediately all in this tiny room and that night i wrote and recorded my first song entitled nightmares with belligerent members mnemonic and infamous d. this song to me is an instant classic. from that moment on Hickweed was an artist and stage performer with the label he had once cheered on while watching from the crowd. i vowed then that if i was gonna be on the label i was gonna work my ass off no matter what that meant i had to do or what my role was. my blood sweat and tears were thereby devoted to B.E. After putting in work creating a few songs my hard work was noticed and i was asked to take care of handling all artwork that was to be used by the label. i gladly accepted and became manager of the Art department. after a while of managing that work i was asked to co-manage the art stuff with J Bling and become the manager of the marketing department which is where i started focusing most of my attention, up until my accident.On Oct 11th 2008 roughly around 2:30 in the morning i was involved in an attempted robbery. when i refused to hand over what i had it was quickly turned into an attempted murder. Revolver to my head i moved toward my car 2 leave when he let the shot off. from point blank range the bullet infiltrated the lower left side of my neck, severed my spinal cord and lodged itself in my spine. Instantly paralyzed i fell into my car and heard the assailant run off without a dime. at the time i didn't realize why i couldn't move any thing but my head and right arm i figured i was just hurt and also i was in an awkward position. not knowing what to do i reached for my phone 2 call my dad however i couldn't pull my cell outta my pocket. i then proceeded to lay on the horn until police eventually arrived. meanwhile i heard a car or 2 drive by but nobody stopped as i lye there white tee covered in blood. i remember giving up for a minute convinced no one was gonna stop i reached for the volume knob so i could bump sum 2pac b4 i passed on....i didn't want that so i continued to honk. police arrived 800 dollar ambulance ride later im in the I.C.U. on the road 2 recovery.
The extent of my injury is paralysis from my mid-section, or nipples, down including my left arm. leaving me no feeling or movement anywhere but my right arm my head and neck and part of my left shoulder. constantly all day all the time i experience nerve pain in my left arm and hand. its becoming more tolerable now like instead of pain all day long sumtimes its minor pain i can ignore or a numbness that i can handle also. of course i do take meds 5 times a day 2 of those times i take around 14 pills. Im currently in a power chair to get around and i live in a rehab center trying to regain the strength i lost and the weight i lost. i have blessings from many people which i appreciate greatly including my family whom i cjust about everyday. and thats pretty much it, im just tryna get better as best as i can be and get out there on my own. im hoping to eventually have my own place and go back to school so i can get sumknowledge. i have no intentions on ending my role in the record label so beware! Watch out for me cuz when im ready for distribution im commin hard. much love...feel free 2 comment ill return the favorTech N9ne showin' love to Hickweed
