At the age of seven, Nance bounced back and forth between his home and the home of his great aunts in Mount Vernon, NY. It is here he learned a great deal about music and the love of performing but his aunts were very secular and did not believe in any music outside of the church. As an only child Nance developed many new talents to keep himself busy. He created his own comic books and short scripts as well as made his own songs. At the age of eight he developed a love for Rap Music and the Hip Hop culture. He became one of the youngest emcees in his neighborhood and was always asked to perform for the older kids who always expressed how talented he was but because of his large stature, his talent was overshadowed by a feeling of awkwardness and he would not show his talents again until the age of twelve.
