Biography
The 26 year old Pittsburg (Cali not Pennsylvania) native known as A-Wax grew up like most youngsters in the hood, playing sports, video games and listening to their favorite rappers. As the years went by though the small San Francisco suburb of Pittsburg became plagued with the same problems of any other major city. Drive-bys and drug deals replaced football games, and school dances. As the impressionable A-Wax became infatuated with the street life and started having run ins with the law, he was sent to Seattle to shape up his act…this would forever change his life.
While the Bay Area pretty much missed the migration from L.A. of Crips and Bloods in the 1980’s, Seattle, Washington was hit hard. Control of the turfs and the city’s fast growing drug trade was the #1 priority of the Bloods and Crips and recruitment was at an all time high. A-Wax was drawn into the gang lifestyle immediately and pledged his allegiance to the Elm Street Piru’s an infamous Blood set in the Pacific Northwest and sworn enemies of the Crips, the nation’s largest gang. As A-Wax’s life was consumed by gang warfare a fateful night in Tacoma, WA would land him in Walla Walla State Prison for five years for manslaughter. At 16 years old, A-Wax went from street thug to convict and there was no turning back.
Embracing the prison life was easy for A-Wax and the love and respect he earned from his gang homies for “puttin’ in work” in the streets made his time easier. A little over half way through his prison bid, A-Wax started writing raps and had dreams of recording an album when he got out.
