in 2000, at age 21, he met his first future wife.
by 2002 they decided to get married. not long after that, they were expecting their first child and "rappy jr." arrived by late summer of 2004. however, within those first few years of parenthood, the couple had grown apart and by 2007 they decided to separate. although rapp continued supporting his son from afar, UNFORTUANtly the more time that passed the less he was allowed to spend time with him. |

welcome to portland |
C. MALONE, A.K.A. "KHAKI BLU"
...A CLOSE FRIEND AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATE WHO ALSO HAILS FROM CALIFORNIA, HAD BEEN RESIDING IN PORTLAND, OREGON FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. HE HAD BEEN TELLING RAPP ABOUT THE FLOURISHIG HIP-HOP SCENE THERE, INVITING HIM TO VISIT PDX ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. |
PORTLAND ARTIST LIL FACE ALSO PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN ULTIMATLY CONVINCING RAPP TO AT LEAST COME up to pdx and SEE IT FOR HIMSELF ONE TIME. |
the difference was ( unlike in the previous years)
Rapp was now free to pursue new opportunities.
UP UNTIL NOW RAPP HAD a WIFE AND CHILD TO BE THERE FOR.
now, between not being able to see his son and
no longer finding a decent paying job in stockton, he finally decided to
take that trip to Portland. he had to see what all the hype was about and
this might even turn out to be just the oppurtunity he had been looking for...
He was elated to discover the thriving hip-hop scene,
which presented significant potential for him as an artist.
After returning to California, Rapp stayed for a short period,
just long enough to gather his belongings and
bid farewell to a few loved ones before making his big move.
as soon as he left he arrived back in portland.
he quickly settled in and got busy learning his way around
and finding his place within the local hip hop community.

study music theory, music history, and various other related subjects.
his creative process while attending class was reaching new heights on a daily basis.
