Phillie-G Tha Suave Gangsta was born in Dexter, Missouri, soon after, his mother moved to Sikeston, MO from Hayti, MO seeking a better environment to raise him. They lived in poverty on the west side of Sikeston for most of his childhood & he was raised in the beliefs of Non-Denominational Christianity. With his single mother always working 2 jobs & his father in prison, he found the inspiration needed to write poetry & dreamed that someday he would become a famous hip-hop artist. His writing often reflects events he's actually lived through. Prison, health complications, & near-death incidents have all played a role in his life & made him the artist he is today.

In December, Phillie-G released his new single called “Cold Knife” from his upcoming album titled “Divine Intervention”, which is due for digital release in early-mid spring. Anyone who has ever been stabbed in the back by a close friend or family member should share the emotion that Phillie-G felt when the song was written.
