Spoda didn’t begin taking this art seriously until High School, although he was rapping since junior high school. He rapped around his fellow peers and classmates and they provided so much positive feedback that Spoda was motivated to begin performing at local talent shows, just to perfect his skills. As time progressed “Mr. Dopeflow” went on to battle numerous local artists which helped to build his name. During this time, his fan base grew and he decided to take to the internet so he could cover wider ground and reach new fans.
