About Me
Born In Baltimore Md, where i still live today, I have had allot of experiences that changed my life. It is not easy being an african american, highschool drop out.
I went to SouthWestern High, and while i was there i started encorperating my surrounding into my art and fine tunning my freestlye. People. including my Father noticed I had a gift. So in 10th grade I applied and was accepted to Baltimore School for the Arts. It was here where i realised, art is what you make it.
My experiesce was not to good with the teachers. They seemed a little hessatant to give me praise for my work. Which made me work harder and bettering MY art (not theirs)
Dureing this time I took to the streets and began documenting everything (possitive and negative) through music and art. I then took my experiences on stage and spit them for the masses to hear.
I then fell in love with it. My focus became purely on MY art and I was Kicked out in the 12 grade. I was working full time at a Benningans at the time, in Baltimore Harbor, and sent back to SouthWestern.
It was there in 1997 I dropped out, to persue nothing but work.
I lost my job and began working other cook jobs untill I landed a job at Ritz Camera in 2001.
I recindle my love for photography and now I'm here to Sell my VISIONS

My way of fighting
I have seen injustice, and have witnessed, first hand, police brutality.
In my art and in my song and in my poetry, I how I fight. If I am able get up and write a song...that's my way of saying "I HAVE WON!"
I want to be a voice to someone. I want to tell them "Go for your Goals, THEY CAN"T STOP WE!!"
Every time someone hears my songs or see a photo they say, "He was a highschool dropout, but he beat'em"
