| When Belly and his family moved to Ottawa, Canada, he saw the money and wealth that was only a dream in his birthplace. Although his parents made sure there was food on the table and a roof over Belly and his siblings’ heads, the luxuries he saw at school, which his family couldn’t afford, were addictive – the flyest shoes, the new cap. Like many kids, that hunger led him to the streets. By the time he was 13, Belly was on the block hustling drugs to get his hands on a piece of the wealth that was available for the taking. Life on the streets made him strong and resilient but he needed an outlet to release his anger and aggression. It was rap music that saved his life and, ultimately, got him off the streets for good. |
