Born and raised out the streets of Southwest Harrison street in Wilmington, DE. Paypaboy was influenced by rappers such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, KRS ONE, Jay Z, Biggie and Pac. Growing up in the Riverside Projects gave me a better way to beat the world. Because the World would try and beat you. At 12 I got into rapping wit my main artist C-Gutter and his cuzin S.K. who made me feel better about getting my own flow right. I never liked rapping at first because when i would start to rap I would get real serious and my voice would change. Into what soon became my own flow. When I turned 14 I got very serious and started writting songs and just lyrics for other up and coming M.C.'s. Moving from North and recieving mad love from the west never turned me from any part in Wilmington. At the end, I'll be the first to go real big out of Delaware.
