PERSONAL MYSPACE: Derek Grant Holowka
I was born in the St. James District of Winnipeg Manitoba on December 7, 1981. I grew up in the small town of Teulon and it is exactly that which fuels me. After, at only 5 feet tall, succumbing to bullies my entire life, I moved back to St. James when I was 16, and it's been parties, clouds, happiness, tragedy, and rhymes ever since. Get ready, cuz it's a new Vinny with a new sound and a new message comin at ya right away. Still many more rhymes to come... And for those of you who are wondering, R-e-D stands for Rhymes Easily Done. PEACE, LOVE, RESPECT. ONE!!
