Later, the 6'9" teenager quickly grew influenced by hip hop, conquering battle rap traveling as far as Washington, Kansas, Colorado and many other states opposing others in the ring with his witty on-the-fly comebacks and his earth-shaking stature. Now, One2Cee pushes forward for a better life for his four children in hopes to challenge any nay-sayer at a chance to become the most accredited talent in the industry despite a disability.
