When pressure and force is applied, the hidden essence behind the motive is revealed. However, for the German born and Austin, Texas raised rapper named Da New Kid, it wasn’t until his uncle forced him to bust a freestyle that his intellectual energy kicked in, preparing him for a burgeoning rap career.
