Biography:
I first began to rap at tha age of 16. Always free styling with friends and such. At that age I never dreamt to make it, and or make something out of it.
At first my lyrics had no true purpose and or meaning, all of my efforts were focused on having better rhymes than tha opponent (In battles).
I quickly gave up rhyming, and began to run with a gang. Typically I joined because of fear, and lack of love and also because I needed a place to fit in.
When betrayed at tha age of 18 by a close friend, I had realized that gangs were full of shit. Tha mottos, and tha whole purpose was pointless. Getting away from tha gang was difficult, but also tha best choice I made so far.
At that age I had gotten kicked out of 3 high schools in within one year. I had decided that school wasn’t for me and dropped out.
When working 2 full time jobs, I realized that perhaps dropping out wasn’t tha best choice, but because I had gotten expelled from tha county, I couldn’t return to any local high school, not even continuation school.
If there’s a will there’s a way! At tha age of 19 I graduated high school and earned my diploma with major plans of rushing to college and triumph! Little did I know that racism still existed, and tha American dream wasn’t meant for me. Without a social security number, it was so difficult to enter college that I decided to give up.
I was 20 years of age, and had a job as a dishwasher. I became an alcoholic, and smoked marijuana on a daily basis. “My life is over!” Is what many of my peers witnessed me cry.
When I turned 21 I had saved up my money to buy myself some turntables, excited I was recording my rhymes over vinyl records. I recorded non-stop, but tha quality was so poor, and always left me unsatisfied. “Are you going to college to become something important?” Was tha question out of my mother’s mouth.
It only tore me apart! “I have to make it one way or another!” I frequently said to myself. At tha age of 22 I had found some equipment to record my voice and make it sound so much better than turntables. I was recording non-stop, and saw no one or nothing stop me, until one night after giving away some of my mixtapes I ended up celebrating for tha successful feeling I had felt for being able to transfer my music into CD’s, I had drank too much and eventually drove and got in a critical car accident (No one was hurt but me). Being in a hospital with out hopes to ever walk again, I thought I was stopped too early.
Eventually after 7 months of recovery, I got up and was once again ready to record. Age 23 I had already recorded 107 songs, all mixtapes.
My plans now are not just to rhyme, but to speak what is in my heart and mind! With no holds barred, I will make sure you feel what I feel, and I will deliver my message with pride and no regrets.
My intentions are no longer just to rhyme, but to also deliver a message, whether it would be political, anger, pain, or love.
No longer will I write bullshit!!!
I was offered a deal from a record label, but had to make a choice! I could either edit my music, and destroy my message in order to get signed, or continue writing what is right, and be without a record label. I couldn’t sell out, so I decided to continue struggling…

Other Abilities/Talents:
Meanwhile I had to be some one that I never wanted to, I some how managed to develop a skill/talent.
In tha 6th grade one of our assignments was to write a short story with illustrations. Whom ever had tha best story and illustration was going to win a prize.
A wrote a short story named, “The Buff Lion”. Of course it was misspelled. Although I did not win tha prize, but I did win something greater! I realized that I was a writer at tha age of 10.
One day while in a summer vacation, age 14, I wrote a very detailed story (Not homework/assignment) called, “Tom & Scorpion”, a science fiction novel with over a hundred pages, also included with over 50 illustrations. Of course at that time I did not realize what I was becoming, all I knew was that I was a writer.
At age 18, I was assigned a 2 page story for homework, but brought in a 80 page book! I called tha book, “Footprints”.
My teacher did not believe I wrote it, because of tha detail, and sophistication. A short while later that same teacher called tha police on me and I was arrested on campus, leaving behind, “Footprints”.
When I was released from jail, I went back to school campus, although warned not to by authority, and refused to leave without my book. Never got it, and it was lost. It was story very dear to me, and had sentimental value. It was never recovered. When I had returned to school at age 19, after dropping out, I was encouraged by a new teacher to rewrite tha book. I did! Although, it was no longer titled, “Footprints”, instead I was titled, “A Life Of Sin.”
I had high hopes with that story and always received positive feedback from readers, but it still did not satisfy me.
Until one night at age 21 I had woken up at around 3AM with a mind full of information that was not gathered from a book, but from a dream that I dreamt. Soon tha story was extended from, 88 pages to 198. Not only that but I also had plans to write a 2nd part to it.
A Life Of Sin 2
I began to write it on January 6, 2006, and tha information in that story came mostly from dreams I had dreamt, and also from experience. I had started tha book with intentions to make a strong ending, but ended up finishing it with plans to write a 3rd part to it.
A Life Of Sin 3
After going through many phases in my life, I had finally started, “A Life Of Sin 3”, on January 2007, and finished it on November 2008. My intention with that story was to prove that following God was tha most difficult task. When I was finished, I had decided to put an end to tha series, but then I had another dream…
I was once given an F+ in a Spanish class for writing a book too sophisticated. I had a D+ in class and was promised a C if I wrote a good Spanish book.
It must have taken me 2 days to write, “La Guerra De V12”, but unfortunately tha teacher thought I pulled it out of tha internet and got an F+… Thanks Mr. Origuela (Ck McClatchy High school)

Other Info About Me:
I make music that is directed towards tha government, and also sometimes about personal beliefs such as God, and what He is to me...
I am not religious, do not go to church, so don't try to convince me! I hate churches, and I hate religions because it is all full of shit...
Catholicism is a joke to me, Christianity is tha name that was represented by tha people who rape and killed my ancestors, and Jehovah Witnesses always claim that tha end is near!
FULL OF SHIT they all are!
I have a personal relationship with God, as you can hear it in some of my songs. My mission is simply to prove that life without God is agony...
My mission is to prove that putting your faith in mankind is failure, regardless of tha President's color...
No Obama, or other colored Presidents will ever convince me that Amerikkka is tha land of tha free... There's no such thing...
There's a secret society that they hide, and when you sit and watch TV, or lose yourself in tha world they are happy...
Who is THEY??? ... Tha ones controlling not only this Country, but this world... GOVERNMENT is meant to be made for tha people, but if you aren't blind you will see that tha people are made for tha GOVERNMENT... Satellites are always watching you, and what you call privacy is really you being watched by THEM...
IN GOD WE TRUST!!! is what reads on tha dollar bill, but who is their god? have you ever wondered who they refer to???
You are meant to be blind! It's not your fault, but now that you know, maybe it would be best to WAKE THA FUCK UP! and do not die a victim...
So, when you lose yourself in tha world, and blind yourself with riches, and think that "BALLIN'" is tha answer, then you have already been fucked...
Success is not really success sometimes, unless you feel it in your heart... What these parasites have made you believe is a "LIFE" is sometimes death...
Tha true meaning of life is not what THEY say it is, but what your heart says it is... It should not be THEIR happiness, but your own personal success, whether it would be God, or simply inner peace...
Most of my life I have been lost, because I felt like such a low-life, but it was simply because I couldn't ever be what THEY wanted me to be in order to call myself a success...
Thankfully I have found tha way to true success, and although it will be tha most difficult task, one way or another I will reach it...
Who ever is down with me, let me know... This isn't a gang, and or religion, but a belief... I guess a belief to find tha truth!!!
We Lost Tha 1st War... Only B'cuz I Wasn't There... Tha 2nd War We Will Win B'cuz I Will B Tha Leader!!!
