Kodak Black | BTWF | UPDATED | Dieuson Octave Legendary Biography

Before Kodak Black would release hit songs like “Skrt”, and “Tunnel Vision” that would get him to notice from some of the biggest names in hip-hop like Drake and set him on a path to superstardom. Before Kodak Black ascent would get halted in its tracks thanks to multiple arrests and a lengthy prison sentence before his recent release. Before Kodak Black would have almost 7 Million subscribers on YouTube, 3.5 Million followers on Twitter, and nearly 10 Million followers on Instagram at the time of this recording. Some people have a harder time staying on the right side of the law than others, and South Florida rapper Kodak Black definitely fits that bill. His legal problems have persisted for years, basically the entire length of his professional career, and while it’s hard to say that these issues have hurt his career, they sure aren’t helping. When Kodak first appeared on the hip-hop scene as a wide-eyed teenager, his distillation of hundreds of years of American history and embodiment of a country locked in an endless struggle with race and class was widely evident in the lyrics to his music. This is a young man who grew up in a poverty-stricken environment and still managed to find a way to create emotionally intelligent observations based upon his own plight. His unfiltered nature is perhaps part of what would get him into trouble later on in his life, but it’s also what makes his music so powerful. Growing up the child of a single Haitian mother, Kodak had to basically skip his adolescence as a means of survival on the rough streets of Pompano Beach and today I’m going to tell you about what that cost him.
