AK-9INE

Born in Palo Alto on April 30, 1975. Attended school in the East Palo Alto area (Castonyo and Ravenswood) up until the age of 9. Both parents worked at Stanford Hospital, where I was born. Pops was from Florida and moms from St. Louis. After my parents split up, my moms moved us to St. Louis. Moved back to the Bay Area at the age of 14, where I attended high school and finished my senior year while living out of my van. Graduated from Gunderson H.

All City Defensive End, and earned a scholarship to San Jose State University. Being the first to graduate from high school in my immediate family. Growing up in the ghetto's of (Cochoran Projects, North Side St. Louis MO, Decatur GA and the slums of E. Palo Alto) has given me a unique prospective on life, which I articulate through my RAPS, using my ghetto stories to paint a vivid picture of the world we live in through my darkest experiences. Sharing my story with the wold about AKA birth name Tommy White.
