Odd Ball was born and raised on the East side of Detroit, started writing poetry at 8. With a few uncles not more than a decade older than, him he was introduced to rap. He then started to write about his hardships and things that he would see but also go through. Odd Ball would battle rap and write, but the streets sucked him in.

Odd ball is on the right track and here to stay!!!
