Hi, Great to have you with us today! Please share with our readers about yourself.
Hi, I grew up in the country, Orangeburg, South Carolina. I’m 22 Years old and my birthday is Oct 26, 2000. I was raised By my God mom Alice Tyler & her husband, Earl Tyler, My aunts, uncles & my main lady my Grandmother, Loretta Rice. I come from nothing, no silver spoon, no hand out straight grind & work. I was forced to learn the street life early on in my life because neither of my parents was present until I got much older.
Please tell us more about your journey.
I’ve always moved around, so I had to learn how to adapt to certain environments. I was placed in foster care for six years until I got older & signed myself out. 5-26-20 is a DATE I’ll never forget. That’s the day my older brother (Malik Glover) on my dad’s side I’ve grown close to over my teen years, got killed at a block party. I strive every day to be all I can be for me & myself & most importantly, my Daughter (Kay’Ari Rice).
Please tell us about your music.
I’m really expressing pain and anger because my brother was wrongfully murdered & still, we have no answers to this day. Soo, it was really a tribute to him.
What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey?
Stay out of drama & out of the police way. Gotta stay militant-minded & understand what exactly I am trying to accomplish in this music business & life.
Through my music, I’m Expressing pain, anger, rage all kinds of emotions. I’m speaking for the trappers, scammers, and everyone in the streets hustling for real 24/7, Making it happen for their family. I put my thoughts & feelings into music. It helps me cope with my brother’s loss. The most influential artist to me is my Bros I grew up with that been rapping before me.
