Performing in school talent shows, or in front of pretty much, anyone who was willing to listen to him. Still keeping the roots that founded his love for hip hop, he started freestyling at local clubs, and around different places in his hometown.After a few brushes with the law, he felt it was time he started making moves to better himself and the crew that he grew to love like brothers. That's when he met Nick Ditri of 98 Proof Recordings.
