Heavily influence by his fathers passion for music, he developed a craft with wordplay which would prove that he was soon to hold his own lyrically for the years to come. After writing his 1st rhyme at the age of 13 he soon grew an addiction to hip hop. From becoming a pastime with friends to soon growing into song writing and emcee battles his popularity skyrocket from that point on being known as the laid back kid name squeegie o. many people still ask till this day what’s the meaning of your name and he simply replies it’s a metaphor for wiping rappers out. This is what he does from the early days in the school yard to the present time of live ciphers and studio session.
