Hystory is originally from Chicago, which has had a big influence on his music. He began writing rhymes at the tender age of 8 after a friend’s father motivated him with three bucks a verse! What kid wouldn’t want to write down some rhymes to make his pockets fatter?! But all jokes aside, it wasn’t the $3 that really drove Hystory into becoming the artist that he is today. As a teenager Hystory moved to St.Louis with his mother."Chicago is the city of mobsters and pimps so the city oozes game. U pick up on it become a slick talker and picking out the real from the fake comes natural.St.Louis is smaller and a little slower so adapting was easy. I became a man here this my 2nd home i embody both" that was his response when asked how living both places has influenced his music the passion and life circumstances that kept him going. If you listen closely to his songs, you can hear the emotion and the pain in his voice from some of the experiences he’s had on his come up. When asked about his accomplishments and what he’s most proud of, he simply had this to say:

"I'm very happy with what I’ve done so far, but I cannot yet say that I am proud of myself. Not to sound ungrateful, but I am afraid to feel satisfied because it can lead to laziness and complacency. Because of this, I tend to focus on how I can improve or how I could have performed better. This keeps my game sharp and my mind focused."

This attitude has helped to keep his music efforts progressive and has opened doors to several big opportunities recently. He released a mixtape titled "Papers N' Pipes" which dropped on 4/20/12 kickin off the Step Or Get Left movement. Now Hystory is set to deliver what he promised would be nothing short of a classic "Dysfunctional Family" with SOGL (Step Or Get Left) mate @Lz. He's lyrical, his delivery is keen, his adaptive sound can catch nearly anyone’s attention, and his hunger for success is something to be respected.
