That nearly cost him everything when he found himself doing time when he turned 20. He used to write poetry and his little brother always saw his potential pushing him to rap (7:03-7:18) Unfortunately he never took it serious and continued down the path of the street. Foogiano had the talent, he just didn’t know it yet. He was 15-years-old (7:33-7:38) but that didn’t change the direction he was going.
In Greensboro, Foogiano said there was nothing but trouble to get into since there was nothing productive for the youth (4:48-5:00)Ĭrazy enough, he only met his father after he did time in juve. After doing about 1 year in juve, he was back out on his shenanigans in the streets. He was only 14-years-old when he caught his first case on robbery charges. That backfired sooner than later on Foogiano when his actions began gaining the attention of the law.
With a population of about 3500 people, it’s a small community where everyone knew everyone (1:48-1:51) Foogiano’s mom said he initially wanted to be a baller, but life turned him into a rapper (0:48-0:53) At just 12-years-old he jumped off the porch and became a product of the streets, robbing, shooting, and dealing coke (1:32-1:40) (2:25-2:33) This turned his focus away from hoop dreams into hood dreams. Kwame Brown aka Foogiano grew up in a place where it’s rare to make it big time in the music industry. Today we’re going to chop it up and break it down, detailing his rough upbringing, his criminal past, and what led the rapper to a potential career ending prison sentence. Now, he’s been sentenced to sit his career and life out for 5 years in a jail cell. Obviously, the law caught up to him but by then it was too late. In his case, he pulled a Tay K and did the race right after he was released from prison too. The newest to the list is 1017 rapper, Foogiano. Rappers have been falling victim to social media and not being able to switch their street mentality after blowing up. Hip hop is proof that no matter your background or status you can find success and be a star, but being able to maintain and control that fame is another question. Back with the real you know what’s the deal.
