S.P.I.T

A lot of people tend to write these Biographies from a 3rd person perspective..but as you know im not other people so fuck all that.. I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe 23 years ago - not really though i was born 16 years ago and to be honest, had a hectic life..I started rapping at the age of 5 and i know alot of Rappers who claim the same thing..but I have the Tapes to prove it..when i started rhyming it was about things like School, who'd won the latest football game, everyday things..At the age of 9 i started creating Rap songs in my head unintentionally..id come up with a few lines i liked and keep adding on lyrics until I had almost a full song..i wasnt trying to imitate Biggy because at this stage I didnt have a clue Biggy did that. That same year I was walking home from a local Swimming Pool with a couple of friends and a man id known to see around Harare stepped out in front of a Car going 120 miles an hour..that was the first time id witnessed a death and It shook me up..but at the same time it gave substance to my lyrics and death NOT UNDERSTANDIN THIS FUCKED UP WORLD, n just trying to get by became the main Topic of my songs. Three years later, my mother who was living in Ireland, brought me and my younger sister out to live with her in Dublin. It was a big difference compared to living with my granny in Harare..life in general seemed to be moving at a faster pace and there wasnt much poverty which I wasnt used to seeing..but it had its disadvantages aswell. I stood out from everyone else and I wasnt used to being different..I started fighting on a regular basis because of Racism issues and that became the norm after a few months. I had to keep an eye open all the time because I was a target in some ways... At 13 I started school in St. Joseph's, Fairview and that was when the shit started getting bad. During my first week id had Knives pulled on me, people talking shit and I was fighting more than ever. To make it worse my mother was seeing a fella from Zimbabwe and hed started beating on her and giving her abuse.. after a few years of taking abuse and holding me back from him she stopped seeing him and we moved to Cabra, a place on the outskirts of the City to start a new life..Things started getting better: I was making new friends and I was getting back into Hip-Hop and Sports, but after a year we were moving again. I was sceptical when she told me we were moving to Blanchardstown, a West Dublin suburb. It was notorious for Crime and i thought the shit was goin to be hectic again but it was the opposite. I met Daz (Sketch) in school and after a while we were best of friends. After years of looking for a Studio to record Music in, i finally found one around the corner from my new house. Sketch start coming to the studio with me everyday and after a while he introduced me to his best friend who was Emcee Paul..after a couple of weeks both of them tried theyre hand at rapping. Emcee Paul had been writing lyrics since he was 8 but he never wanted to record them..after a while I persuaded them to listen back to their tracks and they didnt even believe it was them..after that day rapping became our number one priority, but soon after I started a group called Ruff Nationz and we made countlesss amount of tracks n till 2day i hear dem n 2 me bcoz i had put my heart on em i still luv em! Daz and Emcee Paul parted ways with me and they started up 'The Subliminalz'. After a couple of months of being involved with Ruff Nationz, I put shit on hold to try everything bcoz i really wanted 2 make it. I finally joined The Subliminalz..We met Lyrical Angel at a local gig and she wanted to join the movement..so thats how we came about..and thats how I came about. We were working on 'Bridgin' Tha Gap' at the moment an although weve been together a while its was our first Mixtape! Den my Dad Died and i just was like fuck it and now i want to make it for real! lefted the group now just doin my on thing and living life as it is! meet Leiko, Dublin's n Irelands MOST Finest!
