PatricKxxLee fell in love with music and hip-hop after his older cousin locked him in a room with nothing but a stereo and albums from Nas, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, 50 Cent and DMX, for over five hours.
When he moved to South Africa, he found himself in a town that listened to a lot of contemporary hip-hop. He started writing rhymes and poetry in his class notes and playing around with the buttons on the program’s interface, learning the difference between piano keys and drum kicks. One day, after school, he recorded his first song with a headphone microphone.
