“I lived in California all my life, born in Watts and LA,  due to my moms being a single parent, having to move around a lot with no stability, it’s challenging at times but overall just like anywhere else, locals wanna be heard amongst their peers and outside their community. Everyone has a voice nowadays, and besides the West Coast charged up this new generation .”
