They had love their but personal battles to overcome. Aric the First's adoptive father was a classcial trained celloist, a piano player and he played the bass. So music was around Aric since months old. Music progressed with Aric as a child with break dancing and b-boying battles at the local skating rink. An that era was the new jack swing with Teddy Riley. Aric's step-brother put him on to emceeing in high school, and listening to the different stlye each one had.
