ABBREVIA+ION

I AM ABBREV I'VE BEEN RHYMING SINCE I WAS NINE,FEARS HAVE HINDERED MY CAREER UP TO THIS POINT,THERE NEVER WAS A SHORTAGE OF OPPURTUNITIES,JUST A SHORTAGE OF FOCUS AND SELF AWARENESS. I WAS BORN IN COMPTON,CALIFORNIA,LIVED IN PANAMA CITY,FLORIDA ON A AIR FORCE BASE UNTIL I WAS EIGHT TURNING NINE.THEN POPS GOT STATIONED IN CALI AND I WAS HOME UNTIL I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN RIVERSIDE,CALIFORNIA[POLYTECHNIC] THEN I MOVED TO MISSISSIPPI [GAUTIER,PASCAGUOLA,MOSS POINT] FOR SIX MONTHS LIVING WITH FAMILY, THEN A QUEEN FROM NEW ORLEANS INVITED ME OUT THERE SHE LIVED IN THE IBERVILLE PROJECTS !! FOR THE NEXT NINE YEARS I WOULD LIVE IN THE CRESCENT CITY LEARNING THINGS ABOUT MYSELF I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED.MY SKILLS AS A MC PROSPERED IN NEW ORLEANS THERE'S A LOT OF DOPE ARTISTS THERE,THE TIME PERIOD I'M TALKING ABOUT IS 1993 TO 2001, A N.O. BREEZIE BOUGHT ME SOULS OF MISCHIEF FOR MY FIRST BIRTHDAY IN NEW ORLEANS IT WAS A GOOD SIGN !
