Being raised in Detroit isn’t for the faint-hearted or those of weak resolve. The city of Detroit has given birth to phenomena like Motown, Ford, Aretha Franklin, and the Black Mafia Family. Elements like music, fashion, soul food, burgeoning black businesses, and street violence are woven into the very fabric of Detroit. Those who grow up in this Michigan city develop a unique survival instinct deeply embedded in their psyche. Recognizing the thin line between life and death becomes a crucial survival skill in Detroit. From the most severe conditions emerge leaders, visionaries, and narrators. Hip-Hop stands as one of the most transformative and stunning musical innovations and movements in human existence, birthing some of life’s most profound narrators.

It was personal loss and exposure to street violence that ignited the passion within 227 Deebo to pursue a career in rap music. We have no say in choosing our family, but the bonds formed with them become paramount in our lives.
