My name is Stackz Da Ripper. I was born on the lower east side of Manhattan in 1999. I lived there for awhile before moving to Yonkers where I had family. Some of my cousins were also rappers. I would hear them rap and think “Fuck them”, because they bullied me. But over time I became more interested in rap. The lyrics, music, and expression drew me in. I tried to rap and come up with lyrics but it took a long time. After many failed attempts I spit a hot verse at about the age of 8. Rap was the only thing that I could lean on, it was truly mine and it allowed me to express myself. But I was still too young to do much with it and I also had other interests. 
I was fascinated with guns and weapons that I saw on the streets. I remember they gave me a feeling of power in a life where I often felt powerless. So I became fascinated with tools of destruction. I was too young to get a gun, plus niggas knew my family and I was a lil nigga so as an alternative I carried a knife.At this point I was bangin in the streets. There aren’t many real jobs for young black men, so like many others; I took to selling drugs and robbing to survive and to get where I needed to be. My mom use to play Jay Z , Biggie Smalls, and Beanie Sigel. She used to wake up the whole apartment with old school shit like Stephanie Mill and Luther Vandros. If I were to name one person who inspired me to rap more than any other it would be G.Herbo. From the first time I heard him I never stopped listening. He was rapping about the same things me and my cousins had been thru just in a different way and different place. My home and family life has been a struggle. It was hard on my mom and me. My father had another family he lived with and after a while I didn't really care. I saw less and less of him and basically said forget him. I became more independent and found ways to get what I needed by myself. I couldn't rely on my father and didn't lean on my mother because she was struggling herself. We were always moving, from neighborhood to neighborhood and from shelter to shelter. I still always tried to keep a smile on my face though. I knew what it was like to be hungry. And that hunger wasn’t just for food. I was hungry for success, I was hungry for everything. That hunger drove me to try many things in an effort to get out, to rise above. I met this OG named Willie, my bro Fredo he took me to meet him one day. Willie had a passion for music as big as mine and he took me under his wing providing support and guidance. Willie was a huge G Herbo fan also. Willie had mad equipment and computers to mix music, make videos, and basically helped me with everything to get started in the business. We really clicked and work well together. He is the OG and I'm the young gun coming up in the rap world. Willie doesn't let me lean on him too much, instead he guides me to be independent and learn the ropes of the business as he guides me. His musical suggestions help alot, he can hear a beat or hook and tell if it will work or not. OG Willie aka Thom is a very talented musician and singer, he collaborates with me on many of my tracks providing excellent vocals.
