Education and early life
Math was raised in Brooklyn by his parents who want to be left out of media, and Math thus doesn’t speak about them in public; it’s believed that they were poor while Math was growing up, and that there sometimes wasn’t enough food on the table for the whole family. Math hasn’t talked about having siblings, but his fans believe that he has an older brother.
He attended a local high school and it was upon enrolling at it in 1994 that he became passionate about rap music; he admired the older boys who freestyled in the street, and often asked them for advice. Math was into a couple of activities during his teenage years, as he appeared in several school plays, took singing lessons, and played basketball. It’s rumored that his mother persuaded him to join a church choir, but was a member for a couple of months then quit, although this is yet to be addressed by Math.
He matriculated in 1998, and then didn’t attend college, wanting to pursue a career.
