Biography KB was born in St. Petersburg, FL and raised in Southern Illinois. His parents divorced when he was 15 years old, and that meant big changes for he and his mother. “I went from the suburbs to the hood in one day”, KB stated about the changes that took place after his parents split. At the fragile age of 16 he was invited to participate in a unique school program, an experience that uncovered a painful reality for KB. “Somehow I knew I wasn’t right with God, despite my family telling me that I was good. I knew I wasn’t. I knew I was sinning and the idea of meeting God was unbearable. It was eating me alive.” He struggled through the first semester of the program, failed a few classes, and watched expulsion from the program draw near. He had an internal war surging in his mind, and spirit, and the culture he grew up around said that expressing emotions was anti-manly. So he kept the war a secret, and it turned into depression and thoughts of suicide. During the second semester KB met Jeremy, a Christian who introduced him to Christian rap. He took a cd home and loved every track he heard. “The music was such good quality. I used to love ignorant, trap music that was good quality, and this was equally as good but answering questions.” Answers in hand, and full of a new found hope KB accepted Jesus as his savior and boy has his life changed.
