I grew up in the Bay Area in California and got into ICP around 1997.Β I saw them in a wrestling magazine (a blurb when they were in ECW) and kept coming across their name.Β I had a dream once where I saw the Ringmaster not knowing what it was and eventually came across it in real life at a record store.Β Whether or not I had already seen the cover before the dream and just forgot about it might be purely speculation.Β Sister's boyfriend was a Juggalo through which I came across Riddlebox on cassette.Β By a bunch of coincidences is how I became down with the clown.Β I like to think it was the dark carnival guiding all of this like an attractor.Β I always had that outcast/scrub mentality.Β So everything made sense.
As the World Wide Web began to allow ninjas to connect I made a bunch of homies, including Tracy Juggalo Crew, Sactown Ninjas, Reno Rydas etc.Β The early 2000s was where things were really popping.Β Mini gatherings, wrestling events, shows, etc.Β Those were super good times and crews were mad tight.Β I got to experience GOTJ 2002 and 2003.Β So much freshness
For the past decade I moved away and am now closer to Utah.Β I made it to GOTJ 2016 and hit up a few ICP shows (Hempfest in Las Vegas, Riddlebox in SLC etc.)
Also, my juggalo name is actually Malakai or what most peeps know me as.Β I still use this as Malakai Beats.
