I'm straight outta Charlotte, NC born and raised. I developed my love for the art of rhyming at the age of 9. At this point I was just kind of playing with it a little just making words rhyme through poetry. I always loved Hip-Hop when I was coming up. I used to freestyle for fun and I became known as the cat in school that could rap. Word spread quickly once I reached Junior High. I guess I was that dude to see. So of course alot of other cats felt like they wanted to take my shine. So I used to battle everyday going to school, at lunch and coming home from school. Word spread through the hood quickly. Back then they called me Sleepy Eyez. Nobody could really touch me so I gained tons of respect everywhere I went. After a chance meeting with Mr. Incognito at one of his gigs, he invited me to Power 98 to battle on a show called Uptown Saturday Night. I started off as the contender. I ended up the champion for a record 6 or 7 months (I lost count).
Things have evolved so much over the years since then. During my years I've met many cool people, but none are as cool as my homeys BKNC, Mastamind, and SHIF-T. We collectively make up the group known as Figga 4. We are four completely different people, four completely different styles, but we all became connected through Hip-Hop. It has never really been a big deal to me, being a star or rapping for a career. I rap for the love of Hip-Hop as well as to talk about things that affect my life and the lives of people that I identify with personally.
My only goal is to leave a positive mark and for someone to say that they identify with the situations and thoughts that I express.
