If you wasn't hustlin or doin sumthen to get further then what were you doing? Bop always had music in his blood due to his mom and dad raisen him off the oldies and the new school music, and you just knew his love for rap was unquestionable.

Ragg grew up listening to the sounds of 2pac,biggie, jay z, ice cube, snoop dogg, suga free, dj quick,The liks,dogg pound,whoridas, e-4o and a lot of others that were putten it down. Also growing up to the oldie but goodies his mom and dad played for him gave him a overall different perspective on music. But rap was always his 1st love. While ragg was spenden alot of his time doing music and sports his homies from the hood were being put on and involved with the gang bangen, but they knew ragg was into the sports and the music and they definately respected him for that.
