Keefie Ladare

My name is keith manders (aka Keefie Ladare). i was born in springfield Illinois but never knew my mother because my sister brother and i got taken away from her at an early age. we got sent to our G-ma in hudsonville michigan. after about a year and a half of abuse sexually physically and mentally my brother sister and i were taken from that home and sent to a foster home where we later that year got adopted by a wonderfull mom Gennifer Manders and sponsored and cared for by our grandma Marilyn Manders who is wonderful herself. at age five i started rebellling seriously and from five to fourteen i was in and out of juvy and mental institutions for anger and depression. then when i was fourteen i met Dante Jones at a youth home in grand rapids and he and another guy named Doug Harms taught me the scripture. let me backtrack at twelve years old i heard my first rap song called soul surviva by young jeezy and akon and wanted that. at that time i was in a gang group in grand rapids so they listened to that all the time. i learned how to rap and freestyle at an early age for me and by the time i was fourteen i was publicly writing secular hip hop every night and performing on weekends at block parties and house parties. then at fourteen i got so mad at my family i ran away from my house after a fight with my mom and was sent to a youth home in grandrapids where i met Dante Jones and Doug Harms. i grew up in the church since i was five years old but never really understood christianity untill Dante Jones spelled it out for me. in 2009 i turned to christ and i changed my rap style from secular to christian and it has carried me this far and everyone says it will take me farther than i imagined.
