its hard to stay the course parallel an easy road

About Me

Born in rural New York, Raised in Ft. Lauderdale FL, began rapping at 17 years old, taking a 2 year sabbatical only to return, like many fresh faces to the rap game, foolish and impatient to make moves. most rappers think they are god's gift to the mic, and i was no different, but i waited to release a solid work until i felt i had truly mastered my craft. There's always room for improvement, but now I'm to the point where i notice a lot of other rappers still have a lot more room than me. so listen, enjoy, and draft your opinion, but don't lump me into a category with your favorite rapper (unless its me) cuz god knows theres a good chance we ain't even on the same planet, let alone the same level.
