Davey Asaph, better known as David McKissic, grew up in South Bend, IN raised by his mother and hip hop. His mother worked hard to raise him but Jay-Z, TI, Kanye West, and Lecrae taught him what it meant to be a man. His older cousins put him in a rap group called “Straight Fame” when he was 9 years old. They would record over old school tapes that they’d find at their aunt’s house. David was nicknamed “mumbles” because he would freestyle about random things that didn’t seem to make sense. Yet it was in that moment that a desire to create was birthed.
