THE GOD MAGNET BIO Jan 21,1976, born "DAMEN EDWARD WILLIAMS. Place of brith, " The Baby Hospital In Presbyterian" on 168th street and Broadway. I grew up with both of parents, I have 1 brother, and 2 sisters, i'm the baby out the grow. We moved to Spanish Harlem, 70 east 108st between Park and Madison, Apt 13'F. True indeed, I had it ruff as a kid, mother she had a coke and weed hapit, yes she was working. Father, he fought in the Veitnam War, plus had a coke, dope, weed, drinking problem. In the house hold there was alot of violence. We was living off of Welfear, yes Father was working. Growing up in the hood for me was hard. My school was across the street, P.S. 108 , on Madison Ave. My brother he was already running the streets selling drugs. So pretty much I grow up with drugs around me. At the age of 9, that's when I smoked my first dutch. I never really stayed in my hood that tuff, everytime I went outside, I went to Jefferson Projects, on 115th street and First Ave. My mother sister lived over there, so I was other there with my cousins and Aunt. It really didn't do any good, there was drugs amougst the house hold as well. By the age of 10, 1 of my cousins got murdered right in the projects. That put a big dend on the family, for me, I turned to the streets. Selling drugs, smoking weed, drinking, popping taps, on the road to destruction. I mean, in the house hold there was alot of fighting me getting whiped like everyday, so I found the love I was lookiing for in the streets. By 11, I was deep in the street, around the sametime I found my love for music. My cousin RockCity, all he did was notebook and in pin hand, instrumental rocking. Around the area of Rakim, Cool G Rap, KRS 1, Onyx, and the list do go's on. Hip Hop was Hip Hop, real music! 14 is when I caught my first drug case. First time, they sent me way for 2 years. Doing this bid, I came into the Nation of God's and Earth's, okay to some known as, "God Body's" or "5%", I come under the name "Shaheem Magnetic Allah". Through all this that drive for the music wasn't there, the fast life was all I wanted. You'll heard that saying befor "Learn.from your mistacks?" Will not me. Once I came home I was right back in the streets, doing the samething. Age of 17, I punched my pop's in his face, had 2 females pregnant at the same time, 3 months apart, also got locked back up. This trip got a 1 to 3 years, and did "Shock", it's like some military program for 6 months. Me, I fucked that up and did my hold year. Came home from that bid, no I didn't learn. Went right back to the streets, and 2 weeks later got lock right back up. It was like a second home for me. Like once I got home from that bid, tune around 6 months later i'm back in jail, like what the fuck. In 1999 when I came home, I paroled right back to Spanish Harlem, living on 110th street between Madison and Park. With 8 years over my head, the next day I was back on the strip. This trip selling Dope... 8 month of the, ran from parole and went to my pop's in upstate n.y. Got violated did 90 day of Willard Shock, came home and chilled out. Focus more on bettering myself just as well as my bars. In this time frame, a had 3 more seeds, also out of the 11 years of living up in Albany, I did lost my pop's do to getting hit by a car. I figured I had it all down, finsh parole loving life, till I came back down to the city in 2006, started selling drugs all over again, and got locked up... I told myself, if I make it to see day light, i'm going to live deffrent. Did 2 in a half years, doing my bid pin was busing, did alot if reading, to better myself. 2009 came home more focus then ever, starting going to school, cutting hair, and max out in parole all in Albany. In 2011, Nov 1, I moved back to mom in the Bronx, to start my life new. Now i'm in school " Global Business Institute" with a records deal staying sucka free.. So yes my music I write is real, from the heart, pain within my bars. I world like to thank the god Lord Kaos and the hold Longtime Family, for giving this chance to express myself and how I veiw life through my music... Once again thank you.
