We performed a few times and were known in our county in Florida.
I played Sax and StandUp Bass in 5-7th grade but was kicked out of school early 7th grade year never to return and complete. I learned how to make beats on fruity loops and began to produce my first three albums myself.
Next after the death of my first son to SIDS 8/28/04 I took those albums in envelopes with a 20$bill in each one to SlipNSlide Records. Later that day I received a call from Jullian Boothe and began my professional career. Jullian was Pitbulls manager and discovering person. I worked on Plies, TPain, Pretty Ricky and the whole Florida music scene 05 to 06 apart from the 7 months in GA prison.
Next I came home to Madden07 and NBALIVE 07 with EASports the did a apprenticeship at NextLevelEnt as a show promoter working with Boosie and Webbie, Gucci Mane, D4L and ShawtyLo, Buffy The Body and many others. Me and B.O.B slept at the sudio office SouthBeat records 2006 both umpcoming artist and shortly after my past came back and I was sentenced to prison again 5 years in Florida then 5years in Kentucky. So 7 years later Late 2013 I was released and began GoodbrothaCoalition now a LLC company working to regain the momentum from the past. I’m Feezy350 and I came home to Yeezy350 shoes with no credit or money from Kanye and other artist with names that borrow my swag.
