All his fans thought that was so cool since he was from Chicago, Atlanta, and Batesville, Mississippi. He started doing shows once he lined up with Palm Tree productions. He was doing Sweet 16 parties, Skating Rings and Private parties. Since then he has also started a Myspace account so the fans could get closer to him.

He now averages 15.000-30.000 plays a day and around 1500-3000 downloads per day on his Myspace profile. With those kinds of numbers, it is hard for any other artist to touch him. He has been rated #1 on Myspace out of the 30 million artists. This is unbelievable! Many huge record companies have been trying to get him to sign like Sony and BMG. His favorite labels are G-Unit, Bad Boy Entertainment, So So Def, Koch Records and Def Jam. He is well known for the so-called "crunk and snap" music.
