Being a big fan of Tupac and Dr. Dre at the time. Snouz was so in imagination that gangsta rap was the greatest genre that just made audience crave to be them.
In 1996, six year old snouz was fresh out the bathtub to hear a commotion around in the lounge area. Only to get a message on channel ONE news that Tupac had passed away. He slowely veered off hearing rap music until late 1999 when hearing Eminem's music. From there he was hooked again. Finding out later that eminems producer was Dr. Dre just made an excitement and joyful feeling that he made a decision to grow up to be a rapper.
In mid 2000 at age 10 Snouz wrote his first song. In late 2002 he recorded in his first music studio under the music label ZEAL. recording four tracks in total on the disc.
