Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Spud and the rest of his siblings was raised by his grandparents at the age of 8 years old. Known to his family and friends as " Spud " , this Chi town MC was raised in the church. As an effort to keep him off the streets, Rob’s grandparents not only allowed him to bloom through the youth groups in the church, but they also allowed him to cultivate his talents as a lyricist by letting him join a church rap group called “411.” 411 would go on to travel and perform in front of thousands of people at several church-related functions across the globe.
