Early Life:
Rafayel born in Long Island, New York on August 22, 1989 was raised by his young mother Iris in a poverty stricken urban neighborhood in the Bronx, New York. Due to his fathers lengthy federal incarceration on major drug trafficking charges Rafayel learned very early in life how to survive the fast pace environment of the concrete jungle. Drifting away from his fathers career habits Rafayel decided that there were other ways of helping his mother put food on the table for him and his younger sister, but Rafayel was on a down ward spiral none the less. Following the release of Rafayel's father in 2003 he and his family relocated to the outskirts of Boston to the states poorest city also know as the "City of the Damned" Lawrence, Massachusetts. In 2006 with Rafayel's father still maintaining the "family business", and new criminal charges surfacing tying him to Griselda Blanco's criminal organization, it was clearer then ever to Rafayel that the only way out of this vicious cycle was to dream and dream big! Picking up pen and paper using music as an outlet for self expression Rafayel authored his first rap at the age of 14. Quote: "With everything wrong going on around me music was the only thing that felt right” Delving into his new found talent Rafayel began to master his craft in the pursuit of success.
