Northern California rapper Lazy-Boy shed light on his upbringing and gang involvement. Raised in San Jose, Lazy-Boy describes a typical Mexican cultural environment, pointing to the pervasive gang presence in his neighborhood. Reflecting on his youth, he recalls being a well-behaved child until the age of 12 when the influence of street life began to pull him in. Lazy-Boy's father, a figure heavily mixed up in the streets, became a pivotal influence. Despite his attempts to shield his son from gang culture, Lazy-Boy's dad eventually shifted to ensuring he was prepared for the harsh realities of that life.
