His troubled childhood was also caused by his parents who were drug addicts and it was reported that his father would constantly molest his sisters.

When Taylor turned seven, his mother left him to foster care until he turned fifteen which managed to turn his relationship with his mom sour.

He had his education at “Compton Highschool” where he excelled in sports such as basketball and track.

Though once Jayceon reached 21, he became deeply involved in the gang-life where he started selling drugs and fought with other street gangs. This led to him getting shot and being bedridden for days, where he spent most of his time delving into rap.
