Real Talk: I'm A Rapper With A Master's Degree!

“Why you rapping when you already have a Masters Degree?”  It’s a question that I get asked a lot, but people are more surprised by the fact it was never part of my plan…here is how it happened.

My story began in the Sutton Homes Housing Projects of San Antonio, TX where my mother raised me and my four siblings. As the story often goes for many inner city kids in similar situations, I witnessed death, drug abuse, gang violence, police brutality and some things I don’t even discuss to this day.  However, my mother made sure we also experienced love, understood compassion, learned how to survive, and embraced faith.

My mom is a great role model.  She worked full-time, attended community college part-time and encouraged us to pursue our passions.
