Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started rapping about 8 years ago with a underground rap group called third eye triad.
A year latter niggaz went they seperate ways and I was done with rap. In 2000 I started fuckin with some cats I met in the military and we formed a group called Knights of the round table(KRT). Becuase of the military I was split up from the group but I'm still doing my thang just on dolo now. I make my own beats and I still spit that fiya.
