He doesnt rap about the gangster life, or his pimp style of living like most of todays up and coming rap artists. In fact his style is almost the complete opposite of this. He raps about politics, racism, religion, and daily struggle that people go through, as much of the early rap artist did (Public Enemy and Nas for example). He was born in Peru, but moved to America in order to escape a civil war in his homeland. He was arrested on an account of assault in 1996, and while in jail he studied politics and wrote some songs for his first album "Revolutionary Volume 1". He is not currently signed to any major record label, because he feels doing so would restrict his lyrics, and he will not change about what he rhymes just to be a mainstream rapper. He prides himself on speaking the truth, no matter how ruthless it may be. Some people may think he goes too far in some of his lyrics, but he persists that it is the truth and nothing more.
