A rapper recalls the moment his friend Proof called him to perform at the Hip Hop Shop, which sparked his confidence in rap. He made it to the finals of the Rap Olympics in Los Angeles but lost, and he desperately needed that $500 first-place prize after being evicted from his home.

One day I got a call from my boy Proof, and he was like, "Yo, you need to come up to the Hip Hop Shop." So I went there, I said the rap, I got some people jumping around and shit, and I was like, "Okay, this might be it for me." I met a few people that got me out of just Detroit. From there I met Wendy Day. He had this battle team that was an event in LA called the Rap Olympics. Went all the way to the end and lost again. And I was like super discouraged. I just got evicted from my house. The first prize was $500, and I needed that $500, man, and I lost, and I was fucking devastated.
