  My government name is Burudi Mwoyonyi. My family immigrated to this country from Uganda, which is in East Africa.I’m a first generation immigrant.I literally come from a place that has nothing.I see all of my failures and success as if they came from under a Blac Roc. Failure is not an option in my mind and here is my story!

I was raised in Akron,Ohio and I grew up in the Merriman Valley.I graduated from Firestone High School in 2001. My dad left my mother after I was born.I am the youngest out of six kids. My dad left my mother to raise six kids on her own.My mother at the time barely knew English there wasn’t too many language programs at that time.I was born March 29, 1983. I had numerous as well as serious birth defects.From having a cleft lip,palate to also being born with heart problems and being premature. I didn’t leave the hospital for 7 months after I was born. I came home that October and on Halloween my father left us.

  Growing up was hard. I had a really basic childhood. My mother could and was only able to provide me with the basic because she had 5 other mouths to feed. My mother told me if I want something extra go work for it and get it.When I was twelve me and my neighbor Nate we want out and started to do odd jobs around the neighborhood. From mowing grass,snow shoveling and doing whatever to make an honest dollar. One year we opened a bike business in my garage. Nate and I were fixing all the neighborhood kids bike for a small fee.

One year later Nate and I found ourselves playing at a popular arcade place “Fiesta”,that day would change are lives forever. Nate and I met a wealthy Arab business owner named Nage. Nage’s family owned a chain a business around the city. Nate and I asked him if he had any work for us to do. He laughed and asked how old we were,we told him “old enough”. Nage told us to come by one of his stores after school the next day. Nate and I were so excited we got a job we didn’t even go to school the next day.Back in those day’s there are a few new rap songs that stick in my head. We listened to “Juvenile” and “DMX” all night. Nate and I went to Nage’s store early in the morning and waited for him all day to come down. Nage immediately saw the hunger in our eyes and the ambition in our walk. So he yelled at us for flicking school he was so mad I think he might of made me cry! Nage told us that the only way he would give us a job is if we went to school and got good grades. So the next day Nate and I were back in school bragging to everyone that we had jobs.

  I met Nage when he was in his early twenty’s and he was balling out of control. At an early age I was exposed to fast cars,expensive cars,jewelry,lots of money,alcohol,women,sex, and all of the finer things in life.Everyone and knew Nage he was the business and did big business.

Now I’m in high school and ecstasy hit the scene. Extachy was all over the news and media.No one knew were or how to get it but everyone wanted it.It was like the movie “Belly” and I was “DMX” when he was taking a shower listening to the news.So Nate he was an Italian guy and people trusted him a little more than me. I told him who to talk to because I new they had it.I told him to get them to front him some and we could sale it for a profit.

  My planned worked. All throughout my high school years I sold ecstasy,weed and whatever I could make a profit on. By my senior year I had my high school on lock.I supplied other popular kids with drugs around the city at other schools. My senior year I controlled the majority of drugs that were floating around in the Firestone High School district area.(This is nothing I’m proud of this is just my story and how my life shaped) Well teachers,police everyone knew what I was doing but no one could prove it.I had a great cover up,I was always working. Nage had no clue what so ever what I was doing. I’ve always use to get searched at school and harassed. Mr.Deringer and his administration could never bust me. I hung out with all of the rich kids so I think parents,police and teachers hated that to. It was a perfect marriage I had money,thought and acted just like them. I was such a threat and a problem at school they kicked me out my senior year right before prom.I never went to prom or walked the stage. It hurts me till this day that my mom didn’t get to see her last born walk the stage.

I become very vengeful and I turned it up. I started selling more drugs and working even harder. I made a few contacts in the hood and got it going. I was like a movie star or a ball player. Bye the summer time I had the whole city high on ecstasy and the police new it but couldn’t really prove it. I was a marked man.I was a “Hot Boy” I knew it and I knew my time was coming.It was a typical scene or verse out of any of the new rap songs that are out these days.I was going to go to jail soon. Even though I sold drugs all throughout school,I kept my nose clean. Meaning I did my home work, I kept a job, and I was very secretive about things with my family and Nage. They both had no clue. I had scholarships on the table to go to school and be the next president. I had aspirations to be a politician or an ambassador and do something with myself but the money was coming in way too quick. I didn’t take those scholarships seriously.

  Well it’s now towards the end of the summer. My mom pulls me to the side,tells me that the Neighbor told her that the police were going to kick down our doors. A raid was inevitable.My neighbor saved my ass. He told the police that we are a good family and there good kids.There can not be anything going on in there,this is “Menace 2 Society”. My mom was crying to me. She might have had a clue bye this time what I was doing. I was coming home in expensive clothes sometimes never coming home at all. I was driving luxury cars Cadillacs, Mercedes, BMW’s, Audi’s, and Hummer’s you name it and I was in it. None of them were mine. I just had a lot of rich friends. My mom cried and told me “if you have anything in this house or if your doing anything illegal they will deport me”.That was a wake up call and I knew I was about to go to jail.I looked through all of the scholarships I won and there was one to study abroad I accepted the scholarship and next day I bought a plane ticket.I left overseas to Germany for 2years.

  While overseas I learned the language which i’m fluent in. The first friend I met over there was this guy in school Stellan Pantelone. He was listening to some rap music on his headphones. I asked if I could hear it,he gave me his headphones. I was feeling it. I asked him who it was, he said it was him. I was shocked. He brought me to his home studio introduced me to some people and let me in his group “The Minorities”. So I wrote my first rap in Flensburg Germany.My first song I wrote was called “No Questions”. I use to rap at lunch time in high school and play around with it. When I met Stellan he had me in the studio every weekend making new rap songs.I always liked the glamorous life and the way artist carried themselves. Me being a drug dealer I kind of already had a taste of celebrity and was accustomed to the flashy lights. Well Stellan always brought me to the studio and I recorded and he taught me so much about music and writing songs.He taught me in all the new rap songs that I make I have to tell a story. While I was in Germany every-weekend I met another group of kids that partied every weekend Linus and Bojrn from Danmark. There was Siro from Argentina we all went clubbing every single weekend. The “Disco’s” what they called them over there they played a lot of electric music, a lot of dance music,pop music, and music from the 80′s. Well I embraced it, had a lot of good times and memories in the “Disco’s” listening to this music. This genre of music has become me and is what I try to let the people relive with me. Germany has become my second home and I will never forget my European vaction. I was there to study and go to school but it turned out to be one huge party and after a year there I started selling hash and weed over there. I actually got pretty big and was making pretty decent money. The friends that I made over there I still talk to this day. Germany and Europe has a big influence on my music, the way I think,my lyrics,and my fashion sense.

I came back from Germany to the United States as a legend. I put out a cd called “Mission Impossible” and I sold 5000 copies of the cd within 30 day’s. That was like selling five hundred thousand to me and going gold in my eyes.I linked back up with my mentor Nage. I fell back into my old ways I was working at a corner store and I started selling shit right over the counter. A few months after me returning I had accumulated a small fortune so Nage and I opended a business together. We opened a cell phone store in a small college town.. We did big business but we got robbed for a quarter of a million of dollars in commission that was owed to us and we were forced to shut down. I was 19yrs old and had to file for bankruptcy! I lost a small fortune and I was trying to get back on my feet so I started slanged again shit was going good cash was coming in. Now keep in mind I’ve gone years without getting caught or having any violations what so ever.

  Speed up to July 2007 I’m in the Valley partying at the bars see my old elementary sweet hart Claire. I showed her I had a pocket full of pills police saw me pull the pills out and arrested me. They went on to search my car and they caught the break and made the bust they’ve been dying for. In my car I have five thousand pills of ecstasy I was booked and taken to county jail immediately. I stayed a week and a half in jail my bail was 25 thousand dollars so it took me a week to get it. While in jail I told myself if I walked away with my freedom I would die or make it famous or at least have all of the famous people know me. So that’s what’s I’m on the pursuit to do now. I got out than I got the best lawyers money can buy and we did a plea deal I got fined an exuberant amount of money and was put on probation. This was my first offense and of my accolades prove me as to be a scholar so they let me off easy. To top it off my probation office was my friends day I served my two year probation out of state in Arizona! While in Arizona I reestablished myself and I kept my promise to myself and that was if I don’t go to jail for this I’m going to pursue my career in music and never do or touch anything illegal again in my life. Since that day my hands and thoughts have been pure and clean. That’s where the story ends for now… I’m pursuing my career in music!!!!! TO BE CONTINUED

Influences

I always love to listen to new rap songs from Slick Rick, new rap songs from KRS One, new rap songs from Tupac, new rap songs from Dr.Dre, new rap songs from Dj Quick, new rap songs from Jay-Z, new rap songs from Nas,and new rap songs fromWu Tang. I’m easily inspired by Jimmy Iovine, 50 Cent, Eminem,R.Kelly,Green Day,Andre 3000,Pharrell Williams,Puffy Daddy and Timbaland. Although this may sound like I’m contradicting myself but I don’t like to be classified as any one genre of music. I like to classify my art just as “Good Music”. There are only two types of music, “good music” and “bad music”
