Bio
At a very young age, Dion Henderson, an emerging rap artist from the West Side of Chicago began learning the proverbial ropes of rap and hip hop. Growing up as the oldest of two children in a single family home and being exposed to gang violence in his neighborhood made him realize that he needed to develop a plan to make a better life for him and his family. Gaining inspiration from the ciphers and rap battles taking place in his neighborhood , he decided to make rapping his career path instead of just a hobby. Learning the importance of artistic expression early, he spent his teen years harnessing that expression through his passion for music.
