Growing up in a gang influenced neighborhood in Inglewood, Skeme says he was interested in joining one and still remains affiliated to this day. During his interview, he recalls just being fascinated by the botherhood at twelve while hanging out with his cousin—who was already a member—at a park where most gangs hung out. While talking about his upbringing, he cautiously talks about crimes he’s committed and reveals at 26 years of age he’s lost over 30 friends to gang violence.

Check out the interview above.
