Remember the Titans' is one of my favorites, not so much because of the actual record, but because there's so many different backstories.
I was just rapping as a pastime and I became good at it. So much so that by the time my Def Jam contract was in front of me, I didn’t have a rap name.
I always viewed myself as kind of hip-hop’s outcast, or hip-hop’s stepson.
There's no one aspect of my life that is more hidden than others. I mean, everything is pretty much an open book in every regard: relationships, personal, business, music, family, problems, demons, everything is well documented.
I may catch some flack for this, but the Jersey style I feel is just very different from New York. When I hear a Jersey MC spit, I can just hear New Jersey in them. To where as NY, that style has been broadcasted so nationally that it’s just a natural sound in music.
My relationship with my first child was nonexistent. I was broke and I was a new rapper whose career was spiraling downward.
