Born Dejuan Rice on January 17, 1970) is an American rapper from Pomona, California. He is considered a regional artist, whose fanbase primarily resides in Southern California, but his fanbase there is intensely loyal. Within his fanbase, he is well-known for his unorthodox flow – he can rap at incredible speeds with wild variations in meter – his highly syncopated and staccato delivery, and his unashamed self-presentation as an authentic and flamboyant street pimp.
