Growing up in the Bay Area, there were a lot of distractions that can lead to negative outcomes. His parents made sure he was involved in extracurricular activities growing up to keep him out of trouble. From basketball to poetry, D Sloan picked up a basketball at the age of three and started writing poetry at the age of six. He soon entered his first talent show at Lorin Eden Elementary School singing "Mama" by Boys II Men. From then on, everyone knew he was special. After a series of dangerous events in his neighborhood, his family moved to Tracy, CA to get away from the violence and raise him in a safer environment. Having anger of losing his childhood friend to murder and his closest friends to relocation, he fell into a depression mode. When he started 6th grade, he soon earned a spot on the basketball team as the starting Point Guard from 6th-8th grade. Basketball taught him discipline, teamwork, and the ability to make tough decisions in a leadership role. He continued playing throughout high school but also continued to write poetry and random thoughts in his notebook to express himself. At 15 years of age, he decided that he wanted to start rapping for real. Although people recognized him for his athletic ability, he slowly made a name for himself locally on the music scene. Obtaining a basketball scholarship to Simpson University in Redding, CA was a goal he never thought he would reach with all the politics surrounding the area in sports.
