## ***A quick vision on his life events***

The affiliate always wondered what is that specific set wearing purple clothing in 106th which is a few blocks away from his home, he didn't know anything regarding the set until he got in high school, he saw the clothing being used more often even within his school, he later got introduced to a friend known as Trevon King who was a hoodrat within the set. He explained to him why is that specific group wearing purple clothing and their background, then the kid got involved more in their activities and he started to be a companion with and they spent most of the time together, then later he was introduced to the set and started to know how things worked and he started to involve within brawls and smokin joints in school's yard an dat stuff, he never knew the actual gang activities. One day, he went out with Trevon saying that they are needed somewhere, they went to Palmwood, they both were given a strap because they were going to do a hit on a family set, it was Temple Drive Families, they got in a car - holding the strap in their hands. It was the first time that they have used a gun, once they arrived at Market nearby the Golf Club in Vinewood, they saw a few affiliates of the Temple Drive Families, once we began shooting, shots were coming in-return, his friend was shot twice - he was holding his friend's wound in meanwhile they're going out of Vinewood. His friend was bleeding too much, therefore, he passed away. And that's how he first got to know stuff regarding the set and how he got to be identified within the set, later he met O.G. Bongman and Ghost, B.G. Patty B, Lil Tay Tay (deceased), B.G. Kevin Watts (his second companion in the set), and the other set affiliates.

He was later assigned to NHP by Kingpin Dizzy in Banton as a hoodrat for quite sometime and was later transferred back to 106' yardies subset by O.G. Ghost as NHP's activities became less by time.
