From  Beltzhoover TLA doesn't claim  to have had a hard life ,it was quite the opposite. His Family the Carringtons raised him to be respectful to elders . In his early years he would attend summer camps and play basketball on a neighborhood hoop. After awhile his perspective of life shifted after dealing with the death of one of his childhood friends. He created a song to solidify his memory and this jogged his rap career.  With an uncanny flow and unpredictable lyric combination tends to set him apart from others. If he's not quoting movies it's him trying to create a different word to insert into his lyrics that may go against the norm. TLA said with his brother coming out of his situation his music will start to flourish even more.  Pain Creates champions TLA is prime example of that  Enjoy!
