Lord Freza was born on the day he first met K. Shaw. Doing a trial to show him the skills that he had inherited from his mother, Lord Freza showed his Jamaican Dancehall skills and that was all he wrote. Being of Jamaican ancestry, he knew the culture and style of Dancehall. Linking up with his cousin Black Ace he learned what it is to be a DJ and from there. Being in the Army now he helps out with the Promotional / Commercial aspect to the game. Seeing different states due to the job he is in now opens out a different gate of life!!
