September 11, 1988...the Prince is placed into the hands of ZsaZsa Simone Brown. Brooklyn doesn't seem like the place to be, but it is at the time...Hip Hop's everywhere.."My mother eats, sleeps, and breathes Music, so naturally Im going to love it. Hip Hop's my Pops." "From a child this young'n did everything to a beat." He is sent directly to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to live with his grandmother,Sherry Brown who just happens to be in love with the beat. She says he could never keep quiet, he always had to talk. "All my grandmother does is Music, she cant help it...Its Love." Moving to Pennsylvania might not have been the best move, because not being around his mother aggrivates him and he knows no other way to express it but to write it down or aggrivate someone else. He gives the elementary kids and teachers hell for a few years because he feels that nobody understands him. Years pass and his grandmother picks up and moves to South Side Harrisburg....Rolleston Street becomes the home he feels he never had, because he is finally comfortable. "Being young and reckless got me in trouble numerous times, I just needed to be heard and have the last word...no matter who was talkin to me. My aunt gave me a way to turn that recklessness into something good." Around Black's 10th birthday, his aunt, Jaime Brown started teaching him to play basketball. " the first thing she showed me was a lay-up, and then we did freethrows," Black laughs. "Everybody thought it was funny that I was learning basketball from a girlm but none of them niggas couldn't see her." After he got the hang of basketball he started going to the Rolleston Street playground, where he met the lifelong friends and family everyone knows as the "RSC" or Rolleston Street Crew. "The first person I met on Rolleston Street had to be....Keyz...yeah it was Keyz beatboxing ass..haha. All that nigga wanted to do was beat on tables and shit..Q too, thats why I know they want this." Keyz Da Don and Q Rain are 2 young, ridiculous producers from the South Side of Harrisburg. " At the time nobody knew I could rap, I was young and bad as hell so even if I would have told one of them niggas they would have laughed. Now we're all grown and we're committed to music so Its really love. Them niggas went from making beats on Playstation and Frooty Loops to being, what Im gone say 2 of the best producers period." Now as a family, the RSC is in this race to keep music alive, "We're killing Hip Hop, not us as a group, but people period. When all we talk about is being rich and calling females b's and ho's, what is going to be the outcome of it all man?, the streets are going to have to sit back and watch, we got it" says Black. "RSC is a movement, not only that but we love music, we're not after just the money...we wanna do what we love and Im going to leave it at that. Holidae, Q Rain, Keyz, Weezy, SP, Hitch I got ya'll man...just watch...i got ya'll" says Black, "Im not the only one, we got a arsenal for the streets, just watch."
