Born in Newark, NJ beeb’s life began in an enviroment where dreams had become cloudy and crack had become five minute hits of paradise.

Life changes ended that chapter and he began a new one in rural Louisiana. It was here where he learned his skill, creating feelings of home with every story told. He would return to the east coast after graduation to pursue what he felt was missing, hip hop. There he meet D.who and they formed the duo “ahbseen kwestions” aka “OQ” . They terrorized the underground scene with amazing freestyles, on public display in places such as Washington Square park, NYC.
