CM: I Was once an illustrator and always wanted to create images for Disney. But once I grew to know Disney was racist I stopped dreaming of that. I later picked up a hip-hop album titled " FIGGAZ 4 LIFE". That inspired me so much that I picked up a pen and paper and created my first hip-hop verse.
