Early Life

Micah Crosby was born in 1993 in Modesto, California, where he also spent his childhood. He is also the son of pastor and politician Darius Crosby, who is heavily involved in the Modesto community.[8] He started making music at around age twelve, picking up hip hop production as a hobby. He soon started rapping over his own beats, and by sixteen he had decided he wanted to pursue music as a career. Crosby is a cousin to late singer and record producer, Rick James.[9] Encouraged by family members such as his father, early musical inspirations included hip hop artists such as Lil Wayne, Jodeci, Curtis Mayfield and Notorious B.I.G.[9]
