Black Stranger
Born, Patrick Sutherland to a single mother in Chicago IL. 1979 a Star is born. Moved to The Dirty Dirty. When I was young.. Mom got sick and I grew up much quicker than necessary. Moved around a lot, but I always had a gift of poetry. At the age of 20 I got arrested and started rapping, because of some of my cellmates put the idea in my head.. Along with my best boy who died now. Rest In Peace Kane.
