Watching his mom transfer from selling drugs to using drugs made an impact on Bop’s childhood. At 11 he was forced to take care of his 2 little brothers and little sister, due to the fact that nobody would not take them in. At 12 Bop start selling drugs to make sure he and his siblings was provided with the things they needed. At 14 he and his brothers moved to the outskirts of Harrisburg while his little sister stayed with his aunt (R.I.P Lorraine Peterson). In the 9th grade Bop took playing sports serious leaving the streets alone. Due to the lack of exposure Bop was no longer in love with playing sports by the summer going into the 11th grade. Bop moved back to the inner city with his mother when she was released from prison in 2003. Where he played sports for Harrisburg High School but still remained addicted to the streets.

While on bail Bop put 3 mixtapes out Black Mobb vol.1, Tales From Tha Reepa, & Between Heaven & Hell. Bop didn’t really get a lot exposure until he released Between Heaven & Hell, mainly known for his story telling songs. While in prison, Bop wrote at least 3 songs a day and took his time to read the dictionary to upgrade his vocabulary when it came to writing songs. Being released from prison March of 2008 Bop was ready to go straight to the studio. Unfortunately he was slowed down for 3 months due to being in the Halfway House. Bop released his 1st mixtape since being home in December of 2008 called Tha Cleanup Man (Bases Loaded). Bop is the co-owner of Hood Legends Records.
