My mother is originally from San Francisco, and my dad is from Detroit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve mentioned before that you have a love for the Bay Area, it&#8217;s music and people.

There are lots of similarities in the music. Bay people mess with Detroit; Detroit people mess with the Bay. It&#8217;s been that way since before I was born.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where did you grow up?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Payroll: Detroit&#8217;s west side.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"StockX Image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35241\" src=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744.jpg\" alt=\"StockX_Image\" width=\"367\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744.jpg 4480w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744-420x630.jpg 420w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doughboyz-Cashout-643A9444-1744-533x800.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4480px) 100vw, 4480px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>I come from a block called Strathmoor.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What is your most vivid memory from your childhood?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Payroll: I come from a block called Strathmoor. When I was growing up, my block would clique up with the other couple of blocks over from us. The blocks were Mark Twain, Freeland, and Ardmore. We&#8217;d clique up with all the kids from those neighborhoods and then walk some miles to this other neighborhood, Schoolcraft, and it was an adventure.
