Son of Sochi is a freshman here at Poly who loves to dabble in non-illegal activities.

In the United States he was born and raised, on the playground is where he spent most of his days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, shooting some B-Ball outside of the school. When a couple of grades came, they were absolutely good, started making noise in the neighborhood. Got in one application and got accepted. Now he goes to a school called Polytechnic.

But really, he loves to rap about life and himself, sometimes at the same time. He loves Childish Gambino, Lupe Fiasco, Drake's hand movements and 40's beats, and Macklemore. He also thinks that Barcalona is better than R.M. and Man U will not win any silverware this season.
