The rapper and hip-hop artist has made a name for himself with his raw, unfiltered lyrics and a life story marked by both triumphs and turmoil. Known for tracks like “Wipe Me Down,” “Zoom,” “Set It Off,” “Badazz,” and “Mind of a Maniac,” he’s built a loyal fanbase over the years. Before fame took hold, he actually started young, diving into the music scene as part of the group Concentration Camp—led by none other than C-Murder. That early chapter laid the groundwork for what was to come. In 2000, he signed with Trill Entertainment, a move that really put him on the map and helped solidify his presence in the Southern rap game.
Off the mic, life has been just as full. He’s a father to eight children, balancing family life amidst the chaos of the industry. Among his kids are Torrence Hatch Jr., Imani Hatch, Tyrus Hatch, and several others, each carrying on pieces of his legacy. The rapper often reflects on his journey—how far he’s come, the lessons learned, and the responsibility he feels not just as an artist but as a man shaping lives beyond the spotlight. Through highs and lows, the rapper continues to stay true to his roots, letting his experiences fuel both his music and his personal growth.
Back in 2009, he was handed a 4-year prison sentence due to drug-related charges and allegations tied to a murder conspiracy—though, it’s worth noting, he was eventually acquitted of the more serious charge. He served his time and walked out free in 2014. After that, he picked up right where he left off, diving back into his music career with determination. Over the years, he’s managed to rebuild his image, proving that setbacks don’t define a person’s path. He stayed resilient, focused on growth, and continued making moves in the industry. Through it all, he remained committed to evolving—not just as an artist, but as a man learning from his past.
