“Real name Dennis Rice, I’m from Maywood, IL. Born March 1st,1999. Primarily I was raised by my pops (Dennis Rice sr.). When I was young I didn’t really see much of my momma(Ladonna Grey) due to her running the streets and other things she was involved in. That absence of her lead to me not being close to my siblings either.. It was 5 of us.. I’m the youngest of 3 boys and 2 girls but one of my brothers dead leaving 4 of us now. Throughout my whole life I moved around a lot I’m talking homes and schools.. I never really stayed in one area for long. Most of the time it came from us not being able to afford the places we was at. I had a lot of anger in me since a shorty and I didn’t have a proper outlet which led to me fighting a lot and arguing with teachers. which made it hard for me to stay in school. But as a I got older. I started hanging around my cousins that was rapping at the time and they always insisted that I give it a go.. so I did and realized this was my outlet to let shit out properly. I never really had anybody to talk to that’ll really listen or understand so I put it into words.. it ain’t even start off as raps.. sometimes I’d draw pictures to show how I feel.. or just simply write my feelings down. But then as I started doing more music. I combined the two and it worked for me. Since a kid I seen and went through a lot of things that kids shouldn’t encounter. I needed therapy but was never taken to one so my notebook became my therapist. All of the pain and me witnessing my family dying… not being able to pay for funerals so everybody scrapping for money now… and just seeing the ones I love struggle put a drive in me to end all of this shit. God showed me a long time ago what I’m here for. I gotta break these curses in my family and that’s exactly why I do what I do”
