Ready To Go

Antonio Michael Robinson Jr. was born April 24, 1983 Jacksonville North Carolina USA (Camp Lejeune MCCS) to the parents of a dual Service military couple Antonio and Adell Robinson. When he was six years old his parents separated and he was then raised by his single mom. 
In 1997 as a young teen I attended church with my mom, I had no choice. The church’s name was “Abundant Life Worship Center of Albany, GA. One day the pastor approached me and began to speak into my life, he told me I had the gift of words and he saw many people surrounding me captivated by what I had to say. At this moment I thought of the the poems I couldn’t stop writing and the music that was constantly filling my head. The purpose of my life was revealed. I know the music and words were meant to inspire and motivate others. They seemingly flowed though me instead of out of me because they seem to be never ending. 
My father died in 1999 of a stroke at the age of 37, a young man, he had many dreams, which he foolishly put off, and thus they never came to path. After my parents divorced I was thrusted into the role adult teenage/of man of the house. I had to keep my little brothers in line. Because I was still a teenage I escaped my stresses though my music and poetry. I was more determined than ever to continue my music and see it through to fruition. I spent endless night perfecting my desired craft. The poems and music became so visual and powerful that I dreamed of them nightly. 
2000 to 2001: Up to this point, my words and music were just for my own comfort. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and shared them with a friend. He said my poetry sounded more like rap. It had to have been divinely orchestrated that at the time I was experimenting with making beats on my computer and gave it a shot. 
2002 to 2005: I immersed myself in the possibility of becoming a rap artist. My first song completed was called “Our father” which I performed at church and the congregation was moved to tears. This song was confirmation to me that this is what I was meant to do. At this point of my life I had never felt as alive as I poured my heart and soul into sharing my gift with others. 
2005 to 2010: I joined the Army and this is how I ended up in South Korea. To continue my craft I performed at the clubs off base. During one of my performances MHIS, the most popular Hip-hop group in the country was in the audience. They approached me and asked if I wanted to join them in their quest for Hip Hop dominance in Korea, I jumped at the chance, and let’s say in doing so I made readable history in South Korea.
