s MY PROFILE tarted rapping as a kid can't remember exactly when but it was lip syncing at first, then I fused in my own lyrics when I missed the lyrics. Then I started to copy different artists tunes with my own words after a while I realized that poetry and rap were opposites of the same coin. Then I could try rap my poems. From freestyles then jumped into rap battles too until I started recording. It's been a long complicated road but am here now.
