Born Franco Badini on March 13, 1972, this young Italian kid from Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania an area some 5 miles outside of the urban rugged density of Pittsburgh, PA, would come into the world some 5 years before the earliest explosion of rap music. The young Badini born to Italian immigrant parents began listening to rap music around 1984. It was at that time that he began developing a love for Hip Hop and it wasn't surprising that the young Franco or Frank as his friends would call him , began being influenced by the likes of rap impresarios such as Run-DMC, KRS-One, LL Cool J and Juice Crew.
