BIO:
Nathaniel Johnson, born in Rome,Ga, grew up with two sisters, his father and mother. Life seemed to be turning out quite well for him in his elementry days. Playing football in the 4th grade, getting his nick name "Nate Dawg" and having dreams to continue throughout middle school and high school. His dream of playing football was shatterd shortly after the next year.
September, 9th 1999, he was hit by a car while riding his bike in his neighborhood. He was rushed to the hospital. Suffering serious head trauma, broken ribs and a broken femer. In a non-responsive coma and on full life support, doctors did not expect him to make it through the night but he pulled through. After twelve long days in a complete dark coma, he woke up. Having know idea where or who anyone was. His father and mother stuck with him through out the whole ordeal.
He was in occupational,speech,educational and physical rehab for 4 months. Being so determined to get back to his regular life, he was completley rehabilated and released.
"After all that shit, I didn't relize it at the time but I was differnt from any other kid. I relized my mortality. Unlike most kids I understood I was't unvinceable, theres a begining and a ending."
Nate went back to school that same year missing alot of the usual fifth grade education but passed, thanks to special education classes,due to his trumatic brain injury.
Struggled but passed sixth and seventh grade once again thanks to special education. October, 4th 2002 in eighth grade Nates mother and eight-teen year old sister were in a car accident. His sister died. His mother hospitalized not wanting to stay at the hospital he decided to stay with his oldest sister, her boyfriend, and nephews. This is when Nate was introduced to sex,alcohol,drugs and money. Drops out of school in ninth grade.
North Rome is also where Nate wrote his first rap. He inspired his nephew Aron Derrick (Lil Twist) to start rapping. The alcohol and drugs helped him numb the pain of his sisters death and according to Nate himself if it wasn't for weed he would have most likely never wrote his first song. Plus at the time his mother was falling deeper and deeper in to depression and eventually had a nervous break down. This didn't make things any easier for him. He started moving to harder drugs such as cocaine,etc. this went on for three more years until his mother finally snapped out of her depression. In-between those three years Nate wrote and recorded a few songs.
December,18th 2005 Nate moved to Alabama where he dosent really know anyone and has nothing to do so he decides to get real serious about his rapping.
While in Alabama Nate records a few songs. He has grown drastically in his production and lyrical skills, however life is boring in Alabama and Nate feels like he dosent belong so he decides to go back home to Rome,Ga and live life to the fullest.
