Through hardship from not being excepted in most part of the ghetto community by some neighbors, peers and so called friends. Growing up in the ghetto, a mother with white skin, and a black father that came to Chicago from Louisiana to find his destiny, to explore and shape his era of music that was so deeply inside him.
