After that it was bouncing around houses from his aunts and grandmother, Shank being the oldest of 6 siblings, had alot of weight on his shoulders. Having to raise his brothers and sisters didn't give Shank the opportunity to concentrate on school.

Raised in the notorious "Garden Valley Projects" of Cleveland. Shank had alot of inspiration for writing alot of the urban youth can relate to his struggle whether its "the hustle, the struggle, the money, the sex, and the power" Shank says "People Are going to feel my music I can make em cry, make em laugh or make em rock in the club. My style is very unique and I gotta concieted swagger that people love...I make hott songs." In the most recent Shank lost his little brother on his fathers side, R.I.P Bobby Died at the age of twelve. He hanged his-self in the closet of his grandmothers house. He also had a younger brother who died at 8 months when Shank was younger. He has delt with alot of hard times and expects the worst but prays for the best.
