When did you first start rapping?

I first started rapping in high school at the lunch table..lol ..I
remember all the guys would beat on the table using their knuckles and
a number 2 pencil. I would always rap about what food they were
serving in the cafeteria that day.

What did your family do to encourage you?

My family encourages me by having an open ear. The fact that they
even listen to my music is enough for me. They assist with child care
and even come out to some of my shows.
