Desiigner, born Sidney Selby III, had it rough before the hit song "Panda" changed his life.
In this short short clip called "I Am Def Jam" the 19-year old Brooklyn, New York native reflects on getting shot, always having the desire to create art that would entertain people, making his parents proud and wanting to give back to the community by showing that there are positive ways to make it out of the hood.
"I was definitely around trouble with what I was doing before music," he says. "I was in the wrong places. I was in the wrong timing. I got hit, got shot. Until I just came down and was like, I can't sell no drugs. I sell music. Music definitely saved me."

Birdman is not happy with the way he's being portrayed publicly as contract negotiations between Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne have reached an impasse.
As we previously reported, Wayne filed a $51 million breach of contract lawsuit against the label in January of 2015.
The suit claims that Cash Money violated the deal in three ways.
1. Not paying Wayne an $8 million advance when he began recording "Tha Carter V" in December 2013.
2. Failing to pay Wayne an additional $2 million upon completion of the album a year later.
3. Refusing to release the album.
TMZ reports that Wayne's recent retirement talk and the perception that Stunna won't release "Tha Carter V" has the record mogul feeling like he's being made to look like the bad guy, when that's not the case.
Sources close to Birdman told TMZ that he can't release the album because Weezy refuses to hand it over.
Wayne's camp says it's going to remain that way until he's properly compensated financially. The rapper vows not to leak "Tha Carter V" because he's not going to give it away for free.
Fans can only hope this situation gets worked out sooner rather than later.

Tidal is still trying to find it's footing in the ultra-competitive music streaming business.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Jay Z's firm Aspiro AB, the Swedish holding company for Tidal, booked a net loss of 239.5 million Swedish crowns ($28.23 million) in 2015.
The list of artists on the company's roster is impressive.
Kanye West, T.I., Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Beyonce, Jay Z, Usher, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Prince, J. Cole, Chris Martin, Calvin Harris, Prince, Daft Punk, Jack White, Arcade Fire, Jason Aldean and deadmau5 all release exclusive content through Tidal.
However, the competition from rivals Apple Music and Spotify is proving to be very stiff.
Couple that with the ease in which fans can get music for free and you can start to see what Tidal is up against.
According to the Wall Street Journal, "A person familiar with the matter said the financial statement doesn’t paint a complete picture of the situation at Tidal because it doesn’t reflect all U.S. revenue and financing."
Jay Z bought Aspiro in January of 2015 for $56 million.

Malachi Love-Robinson is a "Donkey of the Day" repeat offender. The 19-year old was busted earlier this year for practicing medicine without a license in Palm Beach County, Florida.
On Friday, September 9, Johnson was caught trying to pull off another scam.
He stopped by a Virginia car dealership with an elderly woman and tried to purchase a new Jaguar. Johnson claimed to be a doctor, but an employee recognized him from his Florida caper.
The cops were called and Johnson was placed under arrest.
He's charged with making false statements to obtain credit, obtaining money by false pretenses and identity fraud. He is in custody at the Rappahannock Regional Jail -- this time with no bond.
Listen up top as Charlamagne gives Johnson another well deserved hee-haw.

On September 3rd Lil Wayne sent out a tweet that strongly suggested he was retiring.
"I AM NOW DEFENSELESS AND mentally DEFEATED & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun," he wrote.
On Tuesday, September 13, the rap superstar appeared "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed" and explained why he felt that way at the time.
"This was a tweet after an argument," he told Skip Bayless. "I was at my tipping point over [stalled contract negotiations with Birdman]."

Shannon Sharpe asked Wayne if the beef with Birdman was real or manufactured.
"This is business," the "Lollipop" hit maker replied. "When it businesses involved ... I have a family. I have kids. I have a mother. We got bills. Once the business is right, then everything is right. So, I did feel that way. And I didn't take the tweet down because I said I still feel that way. And until something is done about it, then maybe it will change."
Wayne added that there's no way that he can ever work with Birdman again.
"Gimme mine and I'll walk off free, smiling."
Artists like Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Young Thug publicly threw their support behind Wayne after the tweet.
The Young Money Records boss said he expected that from Drizzy, but was surprised by Thug and Kendrick coming to his defense because he doesn't know them as well.

Tupac Shakur wasn't just a rapper. He was also an actor, poet and a powerful speaker who did everything with an unmatched sense of passion.
Perhaps that's why today, as we remember him on the 20th anniversary of his death at the age of 25, he still remains one of the most influential artists the world has ever known.
Shakur died on September 13, 1996, from injuries suffered in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting as he sat in the passenger seat of of a car driven by Suge Knight, the CEO of his recording home Death Row Records.
His murder remains unsolved, despite investigations and theories put forth by detectives who worked on the case.
Shakur is considered by many to be best rapper ever.
He released four solo studio albums from 1991 to 1996. Because of his incredible work ethic, Shakur, left behind enough material for six posthumous albums to be released.
His hit records include "Brenda's Got a Baby," "Dear Mama,"Changes," "California Love," "I Get Around," "Keep Ya Head Up," "So Many Tears," "How Do u Want It," "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," "Hail Mary," "I Ain't Mad at Cha," "To Live and Die In L.A.," "Toss It Up," "Hit 'Em Up," Do for Love," "I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto," "Until the End of Time," "Letter 2 My Unborn," "Ghetto Gospel," "Thugs Get Lonely Too" and "Pac's Life."
You can't mention 2Pac's music without talking about his group the Outlawz. Members E.D.I. Mean, Young Noble, Yaki Kadafi, Hussein Fatal, Napoleon, Moozaliny and Kastro were prominent on many of his recordings.
Shakur's acting career began to take off in 1992 with his role as Bishop in the movie "Juice."
He would go on to star in the feature films "Poetic Justice," "Above the Rim," "Bullet," "Gridlock'd" and "Gang Related."
Rest in peace Tupac Shakur. You will forever be remembered.

West Coast Emcee, Wreck the Rebel has been making a name for himself lately. From interviews to music releases, he has been staying consistent in putting his unique style out here for listeners to hear. His latest single, "Marbles", is a visual release, and different really isn't a strong enough word to describe it. Wreck goes in with a slick delivery that catches the pocket of this strong track produced by Musikal. His words bounce and fall on time and perfectly into place with a delivery of lyrics and style that are catered to his character and vibe. According to Wreck, even the title itself is a metaphor with a deeper look into the motivation behind this song and video. "It's like...when people acting in a strange way...we say they've lost their marbles.." He continues to explain his foundation for the song was his ups and downs in life while becoming the artist and person he is today. A journey he referred to as "getting his marbles back." The itself, was very strange. And it matched the vibe that was created when Wreck added his vocals to Musikal"s track. Everything with this release was different, twisted and just the right chemistry needed to a classic. With just enough of bizarre sprinkled over it that it will get an instant replay to catch the lines and scenes you might have missed. Press and see for your self that this young artist is already in a "class of his own." The video even explains that. With his creativity and originality, this Rebel is coming to Wreck today"s hip scene. To keep up to date with Wreck the Rebel, search him on all your social media sites at Wrecktherebel.
