Haas

Born and raised in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Haas came to America in 1999. Exposed to hip hop and influenced by the likes of 50 cents, Haas admired 50’ s perseverance to bounce back after being shot nine times. Haas noticed that everyone liked 50 with his nice cars, and girls loved him. It was this time in Haas’ s life that he knew subconsciously as a kid that he wanted to be just like him. During Haas’ s childhood, he never had a home, and he felt like he didn ' t belong... This was due to him moving around so much. He changed zip codes like he changed underwear. After coming to the states, Haas lived all over the east coast.
