Fitzgerald coined the phrase the 'Jazz Age,' and now we're living in the Hip-Hop Age.
The reality of growing up is we changed schools so many times, my brother was my best friend. We have a five-year age gap, and my brother inspired me. He started boxing, and I just want to show that I could do things better than him.
