About Me
Born August 28, 1976, in Manhattan, N.Y. is where Big Sicks L.E.S. was raised and later adopted his alias.
Big Sicks L.E.S. is the oldest child of five and grew up with them in The Vladecks Housing, located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
His mother, of Puerto Rican origin, struggled to provide for her family through several government fundings. His father, of "so called" African American origin, led a street lifestyle similar to that of 70's gangsters of his time.
Growing up in situations as many minorities do today, Big Sicks L.E.S. felt the need to find peace with his reality and he had faith in a change, he found this through his music at the young age of 12 while watching many older MC's around his way.
This was his dream, his reality, his way out, and his faith.
With him and his siblings being separated by the same government that proclaimed to assist his family with their needs, he quickly lost focus of his dream, faith, and hope. His reality was "The Struggle". Relocating with his grandmother of "so called" African American origin, down south is where he lived for four years before returning back to L.E.S. (Lower East Side Manhattan).
