Although Lo$ seen his mother struggle to care for him and his siblings, and they did not have much as a family, they never let that define them. “We didn’t have it all, but we had what we needed and that was enough”.  His family glorified him and told him endless stories about his father, so he always felt he had to fill his father’s shoes.

One of his biggest challenges is learning to be a father. “I’m doing the best I can, but nobody believes in what you doing until you do it; I never gave up and I put my feelings and experiences into my music that’s my therapy; that’s the only form of expression I really ever had - The sky isn’t the limit cause there is no limit”.

My biggest influence growing up was 2Pac, he made me want to rap because he rapped about real life situations. Later, Lil Bossie and Kevin Gates filled the void, but still not like 2Pac. I graduated from Eternity Christian Program (Adult Education).
