| About INFAMOUS TK AKA MR. L.I.B |
 ALL THE WAY FROM THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA MUSIC HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN THE LIFE OF INFAMOUS T.K. HE GREW UP IN THE STRUGGLE OF THE WEST AFRICAN COUNTRY MONROVIA, LIBERIA INFAMOUS T.K. WOULD ALWAYS GRAB ON CANS AND BUCKETS BACK HOME JUST TO MAKE NOISE EVEN AS A BABY ONLY MUSIC COULD MAKE HIM STOP CRYING AND IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT KIND OF MUSIC IT WAS. AS A YOUNGSTER INFAMOUS T.K. EXPERIENCED THE CIVIL WAR IN HIS WAR TORN COUNTRY LIBERIA WHERE HE ALSO WITNESSED INNOCENT KIDS BEING KILLED AS WELL AS LITTLE KIDS HOLDING AK'S AND KILLING GROWN FOLKS OLD ENOUGH TO BE THEIR GRAND PARENTS. IT WAS VERY HARD GROWING UP IN THE STREETS OF MONROVIA WHERE TK EARNED A LOT OF RESPECT IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR BEING A BULLY TO ANYONE WHO TRIED TO STOP HIM FROM DOING WHAT HE WANTED TO DO AND ALSO WAS A CHARMER FOR THE LADIES. AT AN EARLY AGE HE WAS IN A LOCAL CHURCH CHOIR PLAYING DRUMS AND ALSO SINGING TENDER AND ALTO FOR THE CHURH WHICH ALSO PLAYED A MAJOR ROLL IN HIS SUCCESS AS AN UPCOMING ARTIST IN AMERICA. HIS FATHER PASSED AWAY WHEN HE WAS 6YRS OLD WHO HE STAYED WITH TILL THEN AND MOVED WITH HIS UNCLE IN IVORY COAST AND QUICKLY LEARNED FRENCH AND GRADUALLY FORGOT ENGLISH. THE WAR IN HIS COUNTRY SEPERATED HIM AND HIS OLDER SISTER AND BROTHER FROM THEIR LOVELY MOTHER. THEY LIVED IN THE FOREIGN COUNTRY FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND TRAGICALLY HIS SISTER PASSED AWAY LEAVING TK ALL ALONE WITH HIS UNCLE AND HIS BROTHER. THE 2 QUICKLY TOOK OVER THE STREETS OF ABIDJAN THE CAPITOL CITY OF IVORY COAST IN SEARCH FOR THEIR GRAND FATHER WHO LATER WAS ABLE TO CONTACT TK'S MOTHER BEFORE HE ALSO PASSED AWAY. INFAMOUS TK AND HIS BROTHER HAVE THE SAME FATHER BUT DIFFERENT MOTHERS. IT WAS ONLY LUCKY FOR THE 2 THAT BOTH MOTHERS KEPT IN CONTACT TO FIND THEIR SONS ASWELL. THE 2 BROTHERS MET UP WITH THEIR MOTHER AND SEPERATED BECAUSE THE MOTHERS STAYED FAR FROM ONE ANOTHER AND INFAMOUS TK'S UNCLE BROUGHT HIM TO AMERICA AFTER HIS RETURNED TO LIBERIA WHERE TK HAD TO RELEARN ENGLISH. QUICKLY HE WAS IN STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK VERY YOUNG AND KEPT RECITING LYRICS FROM MCS LIKE WU TANG CLAN MEMBERS, JAY Z, NAS, THE GREATEST OF ALL 2PAC N NOTORIOUS B I G, KRS ONE, MOBB DEEP, BIG L AND PRETTY MUCH ALL THE REAL NEW YORK MC'S. THIS WAS THE POINT IN HIS LIFE THAT HE MOVED TO MINNESOTA AND WAS PLAYING BASKETBALL AND SOCCER AND FOOTBALL AS WELL AS RUNNING TRACK. SPORTS TOOK UP MOSTLY ALL HIS TIME AND LATE NIGHTS AFTER DOING HOMEWORKS HE WOULD START WRITING SONGS WHICH BECAME A HABIT FOR HIM. HE RAPPED ONE OF HIS SONGS FOR HIS TEAM MATES AND THEY SHOWED SO MUCH INTEREST IN WHAT THEY HEARD AND ENCOURAGED HIM TO KEEP DOING MUSIC BECAUSE HE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR INFAMOUS TK TO BELIEVE THE HYPE AND SINCE THEN HE JUST KEPT WRITING AND GOT THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH HIS BEST FRIEND CHRIS STRINGER AND PIERRE CARTER AND THEY STARTED WRITING SONGS AND PERFORMING AT TALENT SHOWS AND CAME UP WITH A GROUP NAMED KILLA SQUAD BUT THE WHOLE GROUP THING DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE CHRIS AND PIERRE WERE MOSTLY INTO SPORTS WHICH INFAMOUS TK LATER QUIT JUST TO PERSUE HIS MUSIC CAREER AND GOT REAL COOL WITH HIS OTHER FRIEND LONZO$ON WHO LATER STARTED RECORDING SONGS AND CAME UP WITH A GROUP NAMED PROBLEM SQWAD WHICH CONSISTED OF THE 2 JUST THEN AND THE DUO LATER ADDED G-DUB TO THE SQWAD AND DID A DEMO TOOK IT TO CHICAGO FOR A MISICAL CONFERENCE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE SCAMMED AND THE GROUP LOST $3500. EVERYBODY STARTED TO GIVE UP BUT TK MANAGED TO KEEP HIS MEMBER FOCUS AND GOT UP WITH LONG TIME PRODUCER WHO WAS INTRODUCED TO HIM THROUGH HIS COUSINS D-MACK AND KIDD CARTEL. INFAMOUS TK DECIDED TO MOVE TO ATLANTA THE MUSICAL STATE TO CHASE HIS DREAMS AND PROMISED HIS CREW HE'S GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY GET ON AND THE GROUP PROBLEM SQWAD IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF INFAMOUS TK WHO HIS CURRENTLY UNSIGNED AND WORKING ON HIS DEBUT ALBUM WITH SUPER PRODUCER SHAWN JIZZLE SOON TO DROP CALLED "NEW FACE OF HIP HOP" WHICH SIMPLY MEANS AN AFRICAN STRUGGLE TO SUCCEEDD IN THE AMERICAN MUSIC INDUSTRY SO FAR THE KID GOT THE MIND SET OF A MILLIONAIRE WORKING WITH FEW HOT NAMES IN THE INDUSTRY ON HIS PROJECT AND BEING MANAGED BY K.B.
