She made him write essay's and read book's on historical Leader's such as Malcolm X , Martin Luther King JR., Pedro Albizu Campos and Gandhi .He also was sorrounded around by music and grew an interest for it. He started writing music at the age of 12 and started getting serious with it at the age of 18 ,writing about his experiences living in "The Hood" and dealing with issues him and his peer's went through such as Police brutality (Which he was a victim of in 2005 and was hospitalized with a broken jaw, rib's and fractured skull),Gang's, Poverty, Hustling ,He also speaks on his personal life conflicts such as being set up and shot at by his own friend's in 2008.
