IM FROM THE BRONX, BORN AND RAISED, IVE BEEN WRITING FOR ABOUT 13 YEARS RECORDING FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. THE FIRST SONG I EVER WROTE WAS ABOUT THIS SPANISH GIRL IN MY CLASS, AND IT WORKED...I WAS RAISED BY MUSIC.I DROPPED OUTTA SCHOOL TO PURSE MY CARRER AS A CRIMINAL, BUT I ALWAYS KEPT WRITING, FREESTYLING, AND SHIT TO PASS TIME. MY COUSIN FLO WAS ALREADY UP IN STUDIOS AND SHIT BY THE TIME I TURNED 17 AND HE WAS ONLY 15, WE RECORDED A COUPLE FREESTYLES THEN WE DID A SONG CALLED "BUBBLE OR STRUGGLIN". EVER SINCE THEN I BEEN RECORDING...THE NAME ANIMOSITI BASICALLY COMES FROM A CHIP ON MY SHOULDER MENTALITY, IVE LOST ALOT OF IMPORTANT PEOPLE AT A YOUNG AGE. I WAS RAISED IN THE STREETS, ITS CERTAIN THINGS YOU CAN GET AWAY WIT WITH YOUR PARENTS BUT THE STREETS SEE EVERYTHING. ITS NOT JUST ABOUT HUSTLERS AND FIENDS AND COPS AND THE SHIT YOU CONSTANTLY HEAR ABOUT, SOME NIGGAS IN THE HOOD ARE JUSS FUCKIN CRAZY. EVERY APARTMENTS IN EVERY BUILDING HAS ITS OWN PROBLEM FINICAL, DOMESTIC, DRUGS... MINE WAS ALL OF THE ABOVE. I SAY THAT TO SAY THIS:EVERY RYHME I WRITE COMES FROM A PART IN MY LIFE IVE SEEN FIRST HAND (AS IN ANY CLOSER AND IT WOULD BE ME) OR IVE DONE IT, OR WAS TALKED OUT OF DOIN IT BY SOMEONE WHO'S DONE IT...
