He was always selling to his family get what he need, but his family were some tough cookies. Escaping the city of New York he fled to Louisiana where more of his family were located.

In 1993, he dropped out of High School and went back to Harlem.

His major was Salesmanship but when he took a course of Purloin he was sent to Rickers Island. There he realized a hidden skill; writing. He wrote his first poem called Life Goes On. In court, he let the judge read the poem. Two weeks later. he was released. While completing his education with the School of Hard Knocks he continued writing poetry and attended poetry readings. Leaving the school with high honors and his doctrine in 1999 he entered a world of reality. Jobs after jobs after jobs after jobs.
