"The greats are ones who redefine the model." Let's take you to Oakland, CA, but unlike a lot of people, young Mansa grew up in the Hills, where people lived a more luxurious lifestyle. As a kid, he was into skating, music, and "nerd stuff" - learning computer coding, and always ahead of his class. He never went to parties, and had never even been to downtown. However, at 13, his life was turned upside down. Unfortunate legal issues caused his family to leave their fortunate life, and within 2 years, they moved 7 times, residing in West, Oakland. Being a rich kid who didn't understand why people sagged their pants, Mansa was lost, and found himself struggling to adapt to his new surroundings. He was bullied and robbed everyday, his grades dropped, yet, it was the best thing that ever happened to him... Mansa has always known that he wouldn't be working a "normal job", but rather something in entertainment. That something, became music, and music became his escape - one that would soon take him from dodging truancy officers, to finding his voice among melodies. In this story, there's no back up plan. Just the snob from the hills, the kid from West, Oakland, the rapper, the producer, the singer. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mansa. #MamaWeMadeIt
