He would be pulled over by police later that day who noticed he was too young to see over the steering wheel and it had been school hours. They drove him home to find his mother passed out from being strung out on drugs herself. Beer cans and bottles littered the tables. His father was no where around. This was the first time He would be placed in the “system”. He would run away from foster care and group homes only to live homeless on the Milwaukee streets. He learned to make music and record himself by sleeping in local studios one of those being hometown hero Coo Coo Cal his single “My Projects” went to #1 on the Billboard hot rap singles Charts in 2001.
