VICE CARTER

Flint, MI

Born December 30th 1992 in Flint,Michigan was Keith Biggs Jr! Many know him today as the 23 year old, dread headed rebellious leader of the infamous underground imprint Pyrex Vision Entertainment.

His name, Vice Carter! At just 4 years old, Vice's first taste of Hip-Hop was given from his parents and grandparents. His grandmother bought him his first three hip hop cd's: The Chronic, Doggystyle, & Eazy E's Cold 187 Um Killa! Along with an extra that he was allowed to open for his birthday (Dogg Pounds "Dog Food" album).

At 6 years old, his auntie would write poetry after long days at school with tension built up from being a pregnant teenager, looking forward to graduating high school. Vice sites her pain and struggle as a mirror to his own life.

A young black male who loved to do everything the total opposite of the modern day children, while getting crucified for being unique.

It pushed Vice to think outside the box. Even hold his own imaginary concerts in his bedroom, practicing in the mirror as if there were millions of people he had to perform for.
