Malik grew up in Compton. He lived in a broken home in severe poverty. He joined a local variation of a Crip gang when he
was 12. A 18, he was arrested on drug charges and served 3 years in San Quentin State Prison. At 23, he returned to Compton
with no money and no real future. He had spent the majority of his time in prison working out and continued to do so when
he got out. He ran into a local wrestling promoter in the gym one day and decided to get into the wrestling business. Now
about 3 years later, the 26 year old has signed with PWSWF and looks to make a name for himself in the company.
