Born in Guatemala, Central America on March 8, 1984 where I was raised up to the age of 5, later moving to Mexico until the age of 7. 3rd world seed now residing in The San Fernando Valley, Califronia an urban youth growing up doing my best to overcome all obstacles in my way....15 years and 3 countries later Hip-Hop and I quickly became entangled with one another being the way to let my word be heard and spread like brushfire. Thoughts become lyrics when my ears hear the base with the snare of a hardcore instrumental. Blocking the outside world as I let my soul take control of the pen, and let the rhymes flow like the L.A. river on a rainy day. Its ghetto poetry when I hit the stage with my crew the Street Captives or on the solo creep. Doing shows from North Hollywood to South Central keeping that true hip-hop alive and well. It aint dead but it sure is an endagared species. I do it all for my Fam, My Fiance and specially my lil boy Isaac who came to this world on January 29th 2008. They are my heart and inspiration to go against the grain. Peace!! ...CTL SOULJA....WHAT UP TO THE MAINLINERS!!! WOUNDED INTELLECT COMING SOON...!
