After graduating from FAMU, ‘Shipwreck’ returned to the vibrant streets of South Florida, immersing himself in the full effect of its hip-hop culture. His journey didn’t stop there—he traveled across different cities in the U.S., experiencing the unique flavors and styles that hip-hop takes on in each region.
Dirty Red—that little light-skinned kid who ran the neighborhood streets with his friends, only to come home covered in dirt from head to toe.
Baby Ship – The youngest of five siblings attending the same high school.
Shipwreck – That FAMU football player and Kappa man who was not shy with the ladies.
Dead and Gone – One moment “Shipwrecked” was out here moving wild, caught up in the fast life with the ladies. But then — boom — he met a beautiful, young queen who stopped him in his tracks. Before long, they were married and building a family.

“Hip-Hop has provided me with a way to share my story and what I stand for. My purpose is not to disrespect or cause harm to anyone shown in the documentary. My goal is to shine a positive light on the culture and inspire others who are just as passionate about the art of hip-hop.”
