About Me

I've been doin this thing for a couple years now...it's funny wat can happen if you just chase a dream...or anything you put your mind to. I'ma relentless, extremely motivated dude. I've been writin my whole life n it kind of evolved into wat you see now. I was born and raised in Roxbury, MA. I'm in school in TITLETOWN, USA RUNNIN WIT THEM GATOR BOYZ. My music has been and will always be personal, wat I see around me, wat I've been through, how I feel. But bein in school has brought me down a different avenue, new ways to come at the mic. It's like bein in two different worlds, bein in school and bein home, so you can hear some of it all. I'm 617 til I die, but I devote a lot of my time now to workin with underprivileged and at risk youth in Gainesville. So a lot of my motivation is now tied to them, tryna show them that bein from the streets is one thing but you can still take that same hustle n apply it to watever, ain't gotta be on that corner ya whole life. I feel like that's a whole new movement takin place in this game right now, n I'm glad to be a part of it. I try to be a little diverse with my shyt, takin advantage of the academic resources I have at my disposal, lettin it influence me on the mic. My inspiration is to inspire. Anyway, shouts to my Mastermyndz crew, my boy Gabe, JLynn, LJ n A. West, all my fans I love you, you & I are gonna take this shyt over. Define yourself, n you too will be dangerous................................................... ............................................. Momma loved me, pop left me, amber fed me, n she dressed me, the world fought me, made me tougher, love it for that my nigga you can't rush thugs, Boston raised me, n whether right or wrong, streets gave me all I write in this song, West gave me fitteds saved the fighter, re ignited the flame that made me a writer, the hustle grew me, I knew I'd never lose, I'm a star cuz I'ma make it up against the rules, momma raised me, pop I miss you, god help me forvgive him I got some issues, my family dissed me, I could never please em, they gon miss me n when they jump back I won't have a reason, I was the baby boy, I could do no wrong, years goin pass fast, let's move along, kitchen table, cookin my own meals, Korona let me in this rap shyt for real, labels gonna want me now, cuz they can foresee, I'ma make it somehow, J believed, Tico raced me, Spits did too, soon or later one of my team gonna be triple, Mama loved me, but she betrayed me, n tho she made me, I ain't a baby, I got a women, she ain't a hood bitch, shantale my girl for life she took the hood shyt, doin her own thing, she gon make it, wasn't afraid to take my heart n break it, Supra fucked with a nigga watup dawg, one of the realest cats I know puttin rap on his back, money stackin up clientel growin now, we tryna succeed aint no time to slow it down, wednesday october 4th, my nigga left this world, 3 months later witnessed the death of my homegirl, mama loved me, Aunt Blanche n Uncle J, loves you to death you let no trouble come my way, oh, can't forget my cousin out in Iraq, he's gon til november, but he's livin free, tell poppy that I love Dawn Sheree, n Christina too, nothin I won't do, unless you was me, how could you judge me, I was brought up in pain y'all can't touch me/ no challenge can subdue me, I chase so ruthlessly, you know better? school me, cuz I taught myself n I'm wiser than the school don't follow the fools n, my fam runnin the city, follow my crew, Mastermyndz, nigga wat did I say, our time is comin WE ONE HIT AWAY anyone who helped me, might not even know ya name, but if you understand the pain, you deserve my last name, my momma loved me..
