Influenced by the style of the city from a young age, Derty was a fan of the hip-hop genre. At age 13 he started writing his first songs and recording. At age 15 he met Carlos Kasse, aka Premonition, and began collabing often. This was the start of the North East underground duo called "Uncrownd Royalty"
Being part of the Uncrownd Royalty, the group released the first album called Street Heat Vol.1 in late April 2008.
Besides his rap interests, Derty has been said to love basketball and partying. At age 14, and 16, he was arrested for an alcohol related charge, the latter resulting in a DWI.
