Upon first glance at Sherrod Shackelford, one might easily assume that he is a carefree late teen. He could pass as a young college student, fresh to life and about to begin his dreams. These statements, however are not parallel to the man you are about to discover. This wide eyed 24 year old has lived lifetimes and is using his experiences and love for Christ to reach the masses through his music.
His appeal to rap began at the age of 10 when his father, Kirk Shackleford, (a former emcee himself) wrote Sherrod’s first rap. Sherrod fell in love with rap. It was how he expressed himself. He mainly held true to its origins and wrote about positive things. He was mainly influenced by underground rap. It wasn’t until later that Sherrod was exposed to mainstream rap.
However, as his life began to change and become more unstable, his writing reflected a more worldly side of his life. He found himself involved in more negativity as the years progressed. However, his mother, Lisa had instilled a sense of greatness and drive in him and Sherrod persevered. Before graduating high school, Sherrod had lived in Illinois, Minnesota and California and had attended 12 different schools.
After his graduation, Sherrod’s mother intervened with a decision he calls “instrumental” in changing his life. He enrolled at Alabama A & M University, majoring in Marketing. College life did offer the experience and freedom of independent learning and offered vast opportunities in developing this budding entrepreneur.
