C.E.O.G was raised in the city known to most as the ” murda capital “. New Orleans, Louisiana is where this O.G. earned his stripes. As a young man growing

very religious grandparents he could have become anything he chose. Instead he went the other route
and thugged all the way out. Adopting the “G” mentality he spent his high school years running with gangs, drinking, getting high and fighting every chance he got until he was expelled from most of the schools in the city. Labeled an ” Outlaw ” he jumped all the way off the porch and landed head first in the ” game”. He spent the next twenty years eatin’ out the streets. Doing any and everything to make a dollar.
