Born May 30, 1984 named Karriem Bennett Ahkeen Shadeed Jr. To father Karriem Bennett Ahkeen Shaheed and Mother, Betina Leslie Butts. I grew up in Oakland California living with my mom, older brother Daryl, younger sister Tenyce, and younger brothers Jon Jon and Jayson. In junior high I met my brother Dee, my nigga Rondel, and my nigga Duey (Du Damage). That was when my skills started to improve. I had a love for music, and I dedicated my rine and soul to being an artist and a producer. I'm currently signed with Filthy Rich Records, and affiliated with a very creative team of writers, producers, artists, and a powerhouse of ideas that will soon be heard.
Thank You's:
First off I thank God, my mother and father for making me happen. I thank myself for never giving up, much love to the real niggaz and my people who always stay real about the struggle. To my older brother Daryl D.W. Anthony Whitefield, much love my nigga. We gon get it, I promise that
