Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.

I grew up in Brooklyn.

I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in Brooklyn. It's what gave me my drive to succeed, the upward mobility I've been after my whole life.

Brooklyn, where I grew up, is a competitive burg - there's always a pretty boy around the corner there, and you gotta look better than him.

My childhood here... was very limited. So it was a long, long time before I actually went out to Brooklyn.

I grew up in Manhattan, and now I live in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is where I primarily developed. I had an opportunity to make records and perform in clubs here and there, and I started networking with the right people in the right places.

I love living in Brooklyn. Originally I moved there because I could enjoy a bigger space for less money than I would ever get in Manhattan.

I'm a Brooklyn boy. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised there, and spent most of my childhood there.

Brooklyn was the most wonderful city a man could play in, and the fans there were the most loyal there were.
