HISTORY OR SHOULD I SAY MY STORY-
I'm a rapper/model/entrepreneur from Minneapolis, MN. I started rapping around the age of 10 and writing rhymes at 12. I always knew what I wanted to pursue at a very young age and stuck with it. I was introduced to hip-hop during a time when hip-hop wasn't mainstream it was all underground meaning no real radio play, or videos like we are accustomed to today. I've seen it evolve into what it is now and I'm very happy that we as MC's have an outlet to succeed through our music and talents due to a lot of the pioneers that made it possible for us to shine
