Born in Manhattan's Woman's Hospital and lived in the Bronx for his first few years. Emperor spent his youth and teenage years on the streets of Flushing overpass the stadium (Shea) and the junkyards. Desolate, deserted blocks, of oil and blood stains, where is stinks. When the bay is low you can smell the bodies! "I've been doing this for years, since I was like seven. I've been writing life. My older brother inspired my first rhyme when I was Kid Flash or KF some mc's write death (unoriginal, poisonous, copycat raps). I admire cats that write life (original, stylish, new, truth) like the old Kane, G Rap. Rakim, RunDMC", says the ambitious lyricist.
