Born and raised in South Jersey, he is The Second Son. His older brother had been killed in a devastating drug related incident. His mother endured a complicated labor which delivered him into he world upsidedown, a sure warning of what was to come. He plunged into the world of drugs and alcohol. Using anything he could to fill the emplty void that had been created, one by one, women, jewelry, drugs, cars, music, guns, each failed, leading to car accidents, overdoses, attempts on his life, gang involvement, & incarceration. Desperate to find the way back to who he was before, his attempts had no limits. At last, his failures led him back to himself, realizing that within him was the answer. His music is a testament to the way of life so many kids today are forced to live. His truly unique style of poetry is directed to those very same kids, not to glorify the lifestyle, but to explain why it is and how to turn it all around.
